Author: H. H. Pierson Hymnal: Christian Gospel Hymns #48 (1909) First Line: What tho' the way be lonely Refrain First Line: I sing thro' the shade and sunshine Lyrics: 1 What tho’ the way be lonely,
And dark the shadows fall;
I know where’er it leadeth,
My Father planned it all.
Refrain:
I sing thro’ the shade and sunshine,
And trust Him whate’er befall;
His way is best—it leads to rest;
My Father planned it all.
2 The sun may shine tomorrow,
The shadows break and flee;
‘Twill be the way He chooses,—
The Father’s plan for me. [Refrain]
3 He guides my halting footsteps
Along the weary way,
For well He knows the pathway
Will lead to endless day. [Refrain]
4 A day of light and gladness
On which no shade will fall;
‘Tis this at last awaits me—
My Father planned it all. [Refrain]

Chas. H. Gabriel
1856 - 1932 Composer of "[What though the way be lonely]" in The Popular Hymnal 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.
