Sing Always

Sing with a tune­ful spir­it

Sing with a cheer­ful lay

Praise to thy great cre­at­or

While on the pil­grim way.

Sing when the birds are wak­ing

Sing with the morn­ing light;

Sing in the noon­tide’s gold­en beam

Sing in the hush of night.

Sing when the heart is trou­bled

Sing when the hours are long

Sing when the storm cloud ga­thers;

Sweet is the voice of song.

Sing when the sky is dark­est

Sing when the thun­ders roll;

Sing of a land where rest re­mains

Rest for the wea­ry soul.

Sing in the vale of sha­dows

Sing in the hour of death

And when the eyes are clos­ing

Sing with the lat­est breath.

Sing till the heart’s deep long­ings

Cease on the oth­er shore;

Then with the count­less num­bers there

Sing on

for­ev­er more!
