1 Wheresoe’er you journey,
In whatever place,
Take your gladness with you,
Keep a cheerful face.

Refrain:
Gladness, carry gladness,
Carry gladness in your heart of love;
Sadness, banish sadness,
Christian, ever trust in Christ above.

2 Though the clouds above you
Dark and darker grow,
Fix your eyes on Jesus,
He who loves you so. [Refrain]

3 Though you’re poor and needy,
Without land or cot,
Be ye ever thankful
For the Christian’s lot. [Refrain]

4 Even though in sickness,
Let your joy appear,
Why be sad and cheerless?
Christ is always near. [Refrain]
