Countless Mercies

Author: Flora Kirkland Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #128 (1904) First Line: Are you heavy laden and with sorrow tried? Refrain First Line: Countless mercies! Such a boundless store! Lyrics: 1 Are you heavy laden and with sorrow tried? Stop and look to Jesus, Helper, Friend and Guide; Think of all his mercies; such a boundless store! Tears will change to praises as you count them o'er. Chorus: Countless mercies! Such a boundless store! Countless mercies! Pressed and running o'er! Countless mercies! Try to count them o'er, Till you gaze in wonder at your boundless store. 2 Think of hidden dangers he hath brought you thro'; Think of all the burdens he hath borne for you; Count his words of comfort in your deepest need; Count the times when Jesus proved a Friend indeed. [Chorus] 3 Does your pathway darken 'neath a cloud of fear? Count your many mercies; dry each bitter tear. Even 'mid the shadows trust him without fear; "Home will be the sweeter for the dark down here." [Chorus] 4 As he looks from heaven now on you and me, Don't you know he chooseth what each day shall be? Trust his loving wisdom, tho' the hot tears start, Give to him the incense of a grateful heart. [Chorus] Tune Title: [Are you heavy laden and with sorrow tried?]

Chas. H. Gabriel

1856 - 1932 Composer of "[Are you heavy-laden and with sorrow tried?]" in Songs of Christian Service 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
