As You Go

Author: Emily K. Baker Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: There is just a word of gladness you can tell Refrain First Line: Then sing a song of gladness all the day Lyrics: 1 There is just a word of gladness you can tell, There is just a little sadness to dispel; There are weary feet to strengthen, There are drooping hearts to cheer; There are sunny hours to lengthen, Rocky roads to clear. Refrain: Then sing a song of gladness all the day, And scatter sunny smiles along your way; Catch the sunbeams as they fly From the hours that hurry by, Oh, sing a song of gladness all the way. 2 There is nothing quite so cheering as a smile! Surely let us not go fearing all the while, There’ll be many a gloomy shadow You must lighten as you go, For in sunshine there is power You must help bestow. [Refrain] 3 You’ll find happiness abounding ev’rywhere! If you only look around you, it is there! There are burdens you must lighten; All your happiness employ; There are broken hearts to brighten With your song of joy. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [There is just a word of gladness you can tell]

Chas. H. Gabriel

1856 - 1932 Composer of "[There is just a word of gladness you can tell]" in Hymns of Praise 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
