Text: | Days going by |

Tune: | YEISLEY |
Composer: | J. E. Gould |
1 There are lonely hearts to cherish
While the days are going by;
There are weary souls who perish,
While the days are going by.
If a smile we can renew,
As our journey we pursue,
Oh, the good we all may do,
While the days are going by.
Chorus:
Up! then, trusty hearts and true,
Tho' the day comes, night comes too;
Oh, the good we all may do,
While the days are going by.
2 There's no time for idle scorning
While the days are going by;
Let our face be like the morning,
While the days are going by.
Oh! the world is full of sighs,
Full of sad and weeping eyes;
Help your fallen brothers rise,
While the days are going by. [Chorus]
3 All the loving links that bind us
While the days are going by,
One by one we leave behind us
While the days are going by;
But the seeds of good we sow,
Both in shade and shrine will grow,
And will keep our hearts aglow
While the days are going by. [Chorus]
