Keep Your Heart Singing

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 our hearts sing­ing all the while.

Keep your heart sing­ing all the while

Make the world bright­er with a smile

Keep the song ring­ing!

Lonely hours we may be­guile

If we keep our hearts sing­ing all the while.

If God’s love is in our 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 our hearts sing­ing all the while.

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 thro’

If we keep our hearts sing­ing all the while.
