Author: Fanny Crosby Hymnal: Christ in Song #284 (1908) Hymnal Title: Christ in Song First Line: Let our hearts be always cheerful Refrain First Line: Always cheerful always cheerful Lyrics: 1 Let our hearts be always cheerful;
Why should murm'ring enter there,
When our kind and loving Father
Makes us children of His care?
Refrain:
Always cheerful always cheerful,
Sunshine all around we see;
Full of beauty is the path of duty,
Cheerful we may always be.
2 With His gentle hand to lead us,
Should the pow'rs of sin assail,
He has promised grace to help us;
Never can His promise fail. [Refrain]
3 When we turn aside from duty,
Comes the pain of doing wrong;
And a shadow, creeping o'er us,
Checks the rapture of our song. [Refrain]
4 Oh! the good are always happy,
And their path is ever bright;
Let us heed the blessed counsel,
Shun the wrong and love the right. [Refrain] Topics: Children's Hymns Praising; Children's Hymns Languages: English Tune Title: [Let our hearts be always cheerful]
