Author: Georgie Tillman Snead Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #5491 Hymnal Title: The Cyber Hymnal First Line: Over all the shadows hover beams of light Refrain First Line: Over all, to watch and guard, and guide, and keep Lyrics: 1. Over all the shadows hover beams of light, Over all the sadness shine the stars so bright, Over all the evil Love is bending still, Over all the chaos God’s unchanging will. Refrain Over all, to watch and guard, and guide, and keep, To behold and mark the sparrow’s fall; Over all, the eye of One who never sleeps— God’s unchanging love is over all. 2. After all the sighing there is joy in store, After all the dying life forevermore! After all the doubting faith is shining clear, Over all God whispers: Peace, be of good cheer! [Refrain[ 3. Over all the wrong things right triumphant reigns, After all the striving strength the victor gains, Over all the discord harmony we hear, Just within the shadow God is standing near.

Chas. H. Gabriel

1856 - 1932 Person Name: Charles Hutchinson Gabriel Hymnal Title: The Cyber Hymnal Composer of "[Over all the shadows hover beams of light]" in The Cyber 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. Bert Polman
