[Once five tiny, little seeds]
The Discontented Seeds
Author: Ida M. Budd Appears in 3 hymnals Hymnal Title: Little Branches No. 2 First Line: Once five tiny, little seeds Refrain First Line: Little seeds in a pod Lyrics: 1 Once five tiny, little seeds,
In a small brown pod,
Felt a strong desire to know
Of the world abroad;
They were crowded very close,
And they couldn't see at all,
They could only feel along
By their narrow wall.
Chorus:
Little seeds in a pod,
Very dignified, and quaint, and odd.
But a lesson should be found,
And be scatter'd all abroad,
From the discontented seeds
In a small brown pod.
2 They had heard the whisp'ring winds
Tell of flow'rs and birds,
And they felt a discontent
Quite too deep for words;
They declared that they were tired
Of a place so strange and odd,
And they wished they could get out
Of that horrid pod. [Chorus]
3 And one tiny, little seed,
Said he'd like to grow;
But he really couldn't now,
He was shut in so.
And each discontented seed,
Gave a vicious little nod,
And they rattled very loud
In the small brown pod. [Chorus]
4 Then a sudden little "pop,"
Sounded loud and clear,
And a ray of light shone in--
And the seeds felt queer,
When the five all tumbled out
On a bed of soft green sod,
While above them, all curled up,
Swung the small brown pod. [Chorus]
5 When the autumn came again
With its red and gold,
When the corn was almost ripe,
And the flow'rs were old,
You'd have seen, if you had walked
By that self-same bed of sod,
Full of dozen pods instead
Of that small brown pod. [Chorus]

Chas. H. Gabriel
1856 - 1932 Hymnal Title: Calvin Hymnary Project Composer of "[Once five tiny, little seeds]" 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.
