Author: Charlotte G. Homer Hymnal: Sunday School Voices #83 (1910) Hymnal Title: Sunday School Voices First Line: While the dew of life still glistens on the flow'r Refrain First Line: Up and be doing while you may Lyrics: 1 While the dew of life still glistens on the flow’r,
While yet the day is bright and new,
Let us be about the labor of the hour,
Doing what there is to do.
Refrain:
Up and be doing while you may;
Labor, and hope, and watch, and pray;
Linger not, repining,
While the sun is shining,
To the harvest field away.
2 Many are discouraged—speak the word of cheer;
Some are astray—go bring them in;
Help the burden-bearer, wipe away the tear,
Precious souls for Jesus win. [Refrain]
3 Doing deeds of love to others here below,
Lending the daily helping hand;
Leading others homeward with you as you go,
Is the word of his command. [Refrain]

=============
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.
