Uplifted Voices ‎#9

9. Keep on the Sunny Side of Life

1 There’s a dark and a troubled side of life;
There’s a bright and a sunny side, too;
Tho’ we meet with the darkness and strife,
The sunny side we also may view.

Refrain:
Keep on the sunny side,
Always on the sunny side,
Keep on the sunny side of life;
It will help us ev’ry day,
It will brighten all the way,
If we keep on the sunny side of life.

2 Tho’ the storm in its fury break today,
Crushing hopes that we cherished so dear;
Storm and cloud will in time pass away,
The sun again will shine bright and clear. [Refrain]

3 Let us greet with a song of hope each day,
Tho’ the moments be cloudy or fair;
Let us trust in our Savior alway,
Who keepeth ev’ry one in His care. [Refrain]
