11725. Songs Of Joy And Peace

1 Never let us sing of sadness,
Give us songs of joy and gladness,
Songs of cheer and not the sad,
Songs to make the weary glad.

Refrain:
Sing of love, and life, and peace,
Sing of sure and sweet release;
Sing, oh, sing, but when you sing,
Give us songs of joy and peace.

2 Life is full enough of frowning,
Give us more of Heaven’s crowning,
More of peace and less of pain,
Less of loss and more of gain. [Refrain]

3 Dwell on blessings, not on sorrow,
And more bright may prove the morrow,
And some wrong you hold today,
May have winged itself away. [Refrain]
