A Little Human Kindness
Author: Frona Scott Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9678 First Line: By making someone happy as we pass along life’s way Refrain First Line: A little human kindness brings a bit of Heaven near Lyrics: 2 By making someone happy as we pass along life’s way,
We bring a bit of Heaven to the longest, darkest day;
The world is full of shadows, full of sorrow, grief and woe,
And snares are set before us everywhere we go.
Refrain:
A little human kindness brings a bit of Heaven near,
A little human kindness drives away our fear.
A little human kindness makes the souls of men akin,
And brings the joy of victory to a world of sin.
2 So many weary pilgrims toiling onward up the height,
Are longing for a friendly word, ere fall the shades of night;
O lend a hand to help them, haste to speak a word of cheer,
And gloomy clouds will brighten when the day is drear. [Refrain]
3 Keep all the hope-fires lighted by the torch of love divine;
As beacons thro’ earth’s darkest valleys ever let them shine.
Somewhere beyond the sunset, in a land supremely blest,
We’ll find that human kindness paved the way to rest. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [By making someone happy as we pass along life's way]

1856 - 1932 Person Name: Charles Hutchinson Gabriel Composer of "[By making someone happy as we pass along life's way]" 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.
