"While the Days are Going By."
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,
O: the good we all may do
While the days are going by.
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.
O! the world is full of sighs,
Full of sad and weeping eyes;
Help your fallen brother rise
While the days are going by.
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 shine will grow,
And will keep our hearts aglow
While the days are going by.
"While the Days are Going By."
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,
O: the good we all may do
While the days are going by.
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.
O! the world is full of sighs,
Full of sad and weeping eyes;
Help your fallen brother rise
While the days are going by.
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 shine will grow,
And will keep our hearts aglow
While the days are going by.
