Wear a Smile for Jesus

lyricist: Maggie Pulver, 1910
Composer: Charles Gabriel

Wear a smile for Je­sus

As you pass along

Cheer this world of sor­row

With a hap­py song;

If a cloud should low­er

Hiding all the blue

Smiles will rift the gloom and

Let the sun­shine thro’.

Smiling

smil­ing

hap­py ev’ry day;

Smiling

smil­ing

up the nar­row way;

On the Mount of Pis­gah

Some day we shall stand

And with smile of tri­umph

View the pro­mised land.

Wear a smile for Je­sus

Speak a word of cheer;

Many hearts are sigh­ing

’Neath their bur­dens here;

Like the spark­ling dew­drops

On the droop­ing flow’rs

Smiles will cheer and bright­en

E’en the dark­est hours.

Wear a smile for Je­sus—

Do not stop to weep;

Tho’ some dis­ap­poin­tment

O’er your path­way creep

Smiles will light­en la­bor

Soothe and ban­ish care;

Scatter free­ly

then

your

Brightest ev­ery­where.
