Refrain: Surely as the sowing shall the harvest be! See what you are throwing over hill and lea; Words and deeds are growing for eternity, Growing, growing, growing. 2 Serious ones are seeking seed already sown, Many eyes are weeping, now the crop is grown; Think upon the reaping–each one reaps his own, Reaping, reaping, reaping. [Refrain] 3 Ye that would be bringing sheaves of golden grain, Mind what you are flinging both from hand and brain; Then with happy singing you shall glean great gain, Gleaning, gleaning, gleaning.

Person Name: *** Author of "Every One Is Sowing" in Songs of Love and Praise No. 2 In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.

Chas. H. Gabriel

1856 - 1932 Composer of "[Every one is sowing both by word and deed]" in Songs of Love and Praise 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. Bert Polman
