I Love to Scatter Sunshine

Author: James Rowe Hymnal: Uplifted Voices #114 (1901) First Line: I love to share a sorrow Lyrics: 1 I love to share a sorrow, I love to dry a tear, I love to aid the weary, And give the sad heart cheer, I love to scatter sunshine, As on my way I go; For this is work for Jesus, And O, I love Him so. Refrain: I love to scatter sunshine, As on my way I go, For this is work for Jesus, And O, I love Him so, I love to scatter sunshine, As on my way I go, For this is work for Jesus, And O, I love Him so. 2 I love to lift the fallen, And comfort those distressed, I love to cheer and gladden, The lonely and oppressed, I love to brighten pathways And share another’s woe; For this is work for Jesus, And O, I love Him so. [Refrain] 3 I love to bear His banner Amid the worldly throng; I love to spread His gospel, By story and by song, I love to plead with sinners, Until to Him they go; For this is work for Jesus, And O, I love Him so. [Refrain] Tune Title: [I love to share a sorrow]

1865 - 1933 Author of "I Love to Scatter Sunshine" in Uplifted Voices Pseudonym: James S. Apple. James Rowe was born in England in 1865. He served four years in the Government Survey Office, Dublin Ireland as a young man. He came to America in 1890 where he worked for ten years for the New York Central & Hudson R.R.

He began writing songs and hymns about 1896 and was a prolific writer of gospel verse with more than 9,000 published hymns, poems, recitations, and other works.

Chas. H. Gabriel

1856 - 1932 Composer of "[I love to share a sorrow]" in Uplifted Voices 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
