There’s a clear fountain flowing From the bright throne above, And its waters are glowing With the sunshine of love; Take the blest consolation, Which the Lord will bestow, Take the cup of salvation— Let the joy overflow. Refrain O the joy! With this wondrous salvation Be our hearts all aglow; O the joy! Let the blessing run over, And joy overflow. 2. Many hearts need the story— Are athirst for His grace; Go to them with His glory Shining out from your face; Tell of Jesus your Savior! If His mercies you know, Show the light of His favor— Let the joy overflow. [Refrain] 3. Be our lives freely yielded to the Savior’s command; By His care ever shielded And upheld by His hand; In the pathways of sadness, Sweetest lilies may grow; Let us sow seeds of gladness— Let the joy overflow.

1856 - 1932 Person Name: Dr. S. B. Jackson Composer of "[There's a clear fountain flowing]" in Golden Bells 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
