Charles H. Gabriel went from teaching himself to play an organ as an Iowa farm boy to organizing singing schools at age 17. Eventually, he'd go on to work with some of the biggest names in hymnody of his day, and write and compose over 7,000 hymns. Some of his well-known hymns include "His Eye is on the Sparrow," and "I Stand Amazed in the Presence." He wrote and composed "Send the Light" at the request of his church's Sunday School superintendent for a special missions offering on Easter Sunday. "Send the Light" quickly became one of the most popular and enduring missions hymns, and it remains so today. Where is God calling you to send your light as you share the gospel of Jesus?
