Author: Mrs. Ida M. Budd Hymnal: Triumphant Songs No.4 #18 (1894) First Line: Tiny little snow-flakes Refrain First Line: Merry little snowflakes Lyrics: 1 Tiny little snow-flakes,
Sailing thro’ the air,
Where can you be going?
Will you tell me where?
From your cloud land harbor,
Downward drifting slow,
Like a fleet of fairy sails,
On and on you go.
Refrain:
Merry little snowflakes
How you dance and play,
Just like happy children
On a holiday.
Rushing fast and faster,
Skipping here and there;
Have you any work to do
In the wint’ry air?
2 Busy little snowflakes,
Now your work I’ve found,
Weaving soft white carpet
For the cold, hard ground;
Folding all the wheat fields
In your blankets deep,
Keeping them all safe and warm,
For their winter sleep. [Refrain]
3 Happy little snow-flakes,
Turning work to play,
I have learned a lesson,
Watching you today;
If I do my duty
Faithfully and true,
Work will seem like play, and I
Shall be glad as you. [Refrain] Tune Title: [Tiny little snow-flakes]

Chas. H. Gabriel
1856 - 1932 Composer of "[Tiny little snow-flakes]" in Triumphant Songs No.4 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.
