180. So May We

1 Little flowers nod and smile;
So may you, so may I;
They make gladness all the while;
So may you and I.

Chorus:
So may you and so may I,
Smile and sing as days go by;
Let us both begin to try,
You and I.

2 Sunbeams make dark places bright;
So may you, so may I
Day by day they show their light;
So may you and I. [Chorus]

3 Songbirds fill the air with song;
So may you, so may I;
Oft they cheer a heart along;
So may you and I. [Chorus]

4 Jesus cheered the sad and lone;
So may you, so may I;
Made their cares and griefs his own;
So may you and I. [Chorus]
