Sunshine and Rain

Author: Charles H. Gabriel Hymnal: Hymns We Love, for Sunday Schools and All Devotional Meetings #2 (1907) First Line: Had we only sunshine all the year around Refrain First Line: Sunshine and rain, refreshing, reviving rain Lyrics: 1 Had we only sunshine all the year around, Without the blessing of refreshing rain, Would we scatter seed upon the fallow ground, And hope to gather flowers, fruit, and grain? Refrain: Sunshine and rain, refreshing, reviving rain, Light of faith and love, showers from above! Sunshine and rain, to nourish the growing grain, Send us, Lord, the sunshine and the rain. 2 Had we not a sorrow or a cross to bear For Him who bore the burden of our sin, Would we know the sweetness of His love and care, Or even strive eternal joys to win? [Refrain] 3 Can we prize the sunshine and deplore the rain, Repining when the days are dark and drear? Can we hope for pleasure, yet deny the pain, Or share the joys of life without the tear? [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Had we only sunshine all the year around]

Chas. H. Gabriel

1856 - 1932 Person Name: C. H. G. Author of "Sunshine and Rain" in Timeless Truths Pseudonyms: C. D. Emerson, Charlotte G. Homer, S. B. Jackson, A. W. Lawrence, Jennie Ree ============= For the first seventeen years of his life Charles Hutchinson Gabriel (b. Wilton, IA, 1856; d. Los Angeles, CA, 1932) lived on an Iowa farm, where friends and neighbors often gathered to sing. Gabriel accompanied them on the family reed organ he had taught himself to play. At the age of sixteen he began teaching singing in schools (following in his father's footsteps) and soon was acclaimed as a fine teacher and composer. He moved to California in 1887 and served as Sunday school music director at the Grace Methodist Church in San Francisco. After moving to Chicago in 1892, Gabriel edited numerous collections of anthems, cantatas, and a large number of songbooks for the Homer Rodeheaver, Hope, and E. O. Excell publishing companies. He composed hundreds of tunes and texts, at times using pseudonyms such as Charlotte G. Homer. The total number of his compositions is estimated at about seven thousand. Gabriel's gospel songs became widely circulated through the Billy Sunday-Homer Rodeheaver urban crusades. Bert Polman
