Author: C. H. G. Hymnal: Timeless Truths #526 Meter: 7.7.11.7.7.10.8.8.12.10 Hymnal Title: Timeless Truths First Line: We may lighten toil and care Refrain First Line: Keep the heart singing all the while Lyrics: 1 We may lighten toil and care,
Or a heavy burden share,
With a word, a kindly deed, or sunny smile;
We may girdle day and night
With a halo of delight,
If we keep the heart singing all the while.
Refrain:
Keep the heart singing all the while;
Make the world brighter with a smile;
Keep the song ringing! Lonely hours we may beguile,
If we keep the heart singing all the while.
2 If His love is in the soul,
And we yield to His control,
Sweetest music will the lonely hours beguile;
We may drive the clouds away,
Cheer and bless the darkest day,
If we keep the heart singing all the while. [Refrain]
3 How a word of love will cheer,
Kindle hope, and banish fear,
Soothe a pain, or take away the sting of guile;
Oh, how much we all may do,
In the world we travel through,
If we keep the heart singing all the while. [Refrain] Scripture: Psalm 28:7 Tune Title: [We may lighten toil and care]
Keep the Heart Singing
