Tune: | [If the dark shadows gather] |
Composer: | B. D. Ackley |
1 If the dark shadows gather
As you go along,
Do not grieve for their coming,
Sing a cheery song,
There is joy for the taking,
It will soon be light,
--Ev’ry cloud wears a rainbow
If your heart keeps right.
Chorus:
If your heart keeps right,
If your heart keeps right,
There’s a song of gladness in the darkest night;
If your heart keeps right,
If your heart keeps right,
Ev’ry cloud will wear a rainbow,
If your heart keeps right.
2 Is your life just a tangle
Full of toil and care?
Smile a bit as you journey,
Others’ burdens share;
You’ll forget all your troubles,
Making their lives bright,
Skies will grow blue and sunny
If your heart keeps right. [Chorus]
3 There are blossoms of gladness,
'Neath the winter’s snow.
From the gloom and the darkness
Comes the morning's glow;
Never give up the battle,
You will win the fight,
Gain the rest of the Victor,
If your heart keeps right. [Chorus]
