Unseen But Heard

Hymnal: Gems and Jewels #112 (1890) First Line: If we only sought to brighten Refrain First Line: We should hear the angels singing Lyrics: 1 If we only sought to brighten Ev’ry pathway dark with care, If we only tried to lighten All the burdens others bear, Chorus: We should hear the angels singing, All around us night and day, We should feel them gently winging, At our side their upward way. 2 If we only strive to cherish Ev’ry pure and holy thought, Till within our hearts should perish All that is with evil fraught, [Chorus] 3 If we only did our duty, Thinking not what it might cost, Then the earth would wear new beauty Like to that in Eden lost, [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [If we only sought to brighten]
