12987. Keep Your Heart Singing

1 We may lighten toil and care,
Or a heavy burden share,
With a word, a kindly deed or sunny smile;
We may girdle day and night
With a halo of delight,
If we keep our hearts singing all the while.

Refrain:
Keep your heart singing all the while,
Make the world brighter with a smile,
Keep the song ringing!
Lonely hours we may beguile,
If we keep our hearts singing all the while.

2 If God’s love is in our soul,
And we yield to His control,
Sweetest music will the lonely hours beguile;
We may drive the clouds away,
Cheer and bless the darkest day,
If we keep our hearts singing all the while. [Refrain]

3 How a word of love will cheer,
Kindle hope, and banish fear,
Soothe a pain, or take away the sting of guile;
Oh, how much we all may do,
In the world we travel thro’,
If we keep our hearts singing all the while. [Refrain]
