Author: Mary Gilbert-Wray Appears in 7 hymnals First Line: Under the snow, under the snow Lyrics: 1 Under the snow, under the snow, Snugly the flow'rs have been sleeping; Dear little flow'rs, they could not know Jesus a kind watch was keeping. Under the snow they softly lay, Waiting to greet the first spring day; Soon as the winter passed away Brightly the flow'rs cam peeping. Sleep, sleep sleep, sleep, 'Neath a blanket of drifted snow; Sleep, sleep sleep, sleep, Not a sorrow you know. 2 Up in the tree, up in the tree, Gaily the birdies are swinging; Happy and free, songs full of glee, cheerily, cheerily ringing; Building their nests on boughs so high, Teaching the baby birds to fly; God watching o'er them from on high, List to their merry singing. Sing, sing, sing, sing, Swing your cradle up in the tree; Sing, sing, sing, sing, Carol happy and free. 3 Blossom and bird, blossom and bird, Giving their best this fair weather; With them we come in sweet accord, Singing our carols together; Brighter are we than blooming flow'rs, Gayer that birds in leafy bow'rs; Pleading to Christ our early hours, His we would be forever. Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, Bird and blossom and busy bee; Sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, God will watch over thee. Topics: Children's Songs Used With Tune: [Under the snow, under the snow]

Chas. H. Gabriel

1856 - 1932 Composer of "[Under the snow, under the snow] " in The New Praiseworthy 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
