If Your Heart Keeps Right

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.

Every cloud wears a rain­bow

If your heart keeps right.

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

Every cloud will wear a rain­bow

If your heart keeps right.

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.

There are blos­soms of glad­ness

’Neath the win­ter’s snow.

From the gloom and the dark­ness

Comes the morn­ing glow.

Never give up the bat­tle

You will win the fight;

Gain the rest of the vic­tor

If your heart keeps right.
