Tune:[When skies are blue above our head]
Composer:H. A. Henry

17. Sing Joyfully, Sing Cheerily

1 When skies are blue above our head
And sunshine gilds the day,—
When fragrant flow’rs adorn our path
In fair and bright array:—

Refrain:
Sing hopefully,
Sing cheerily,
All along the line,
And let our songs with joy resound,—
The glory, Lord, be Thine.

2 When storm-clouds gather on our sight,
Rude winds about us blow,
The sharp thorns pierce our feet and hands
Whichever way we go:— [Refrain]

3 Should no kind friend a hand extend
To help us when we fall,—
Strength to the heart this tho’t affords—
Our God is over all:— [Refrain]
