Author: E. E. Rexford Hymnal: Revival Praises #86 (1907) First Line: Throw open wide the windows Lyrics: 1 Throw open wide the windows
Of souls made dark with sin,
And let the blessed sunshine
Of love and gladness in;
Drive out the gloomy shadows
That make the daytime night,
And flood the lonesome places
With pure life-giving light.
Chorus:
Throw open all the windows
That long have bolted been,
And let the golden glory
Of God's sweet sunshine in;
Throw open all the windows
That long have bolted been,
And let the golden glory
Of God's sweet sunshine in.
2 Let's banish by the sunshine
God sends us from above,
The doubts and fears that darken
The pathway of His love;
Beneath its warmth and brightness
The flow'rs of hope will spring,
And birds of faith soar heav'nward,
On swift and happy wing. [Chorus]
3 Oh, sit in gloom no longer,
God's sunshine's at the door;
It waits to cross the threshold,
And tarry evermore;
Fling wide the heart's closed windows,
Swing back its doors today,
And let love's radiant sunshine,
Drive all it's gloom away. [Chorus] Tune Title: [Throw open wide the windows]

Chas. H. Gabriel
1856 - 1932 Composer of "[Throw open wide the windows]" in Revival Praises 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.
