There Are Lonely Hearts to Cherish

lyricist: George Cooper, 1870
Composer: Ira Sankey, 1881

There are lone­ly hearts to cher­ish

While the days are go­ing by;

There are wea­ry souls who per­ish

While the days are go­ing by;

If a smile we can re­new

As our jour­ney we pur­sue

Oh

the good we all may do

While the days are go­ing by.

Going by (go­ing by)

Going by (go­ing by)

Going by (go­ing by)

Going by (go­ing by)

Oh

the good we all may do

While the days are go­ing by.

There’s no time for idle scorn­ing

While the days are go­ing by;

Let your face be like the morn­ing

While the days are go­ing by;

Oh

the world is full of sighs

Full of sad and weep­ing eyes;

Help your fall­en bro­ther rise

While the days are go­ing by.

All the lov­ing links that bind us

While the days are go­ing by;

One by one we leave be­hind us

While the days are go­ing by;

But the seeds of good we sow

Both in shade and shine will grow

And will keep our hearts aglow

While the days are go­ing by.
