Tune: | [There are lonely hearts to cherish] |
Composer: | J. S. Norris |
1 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,
O the good we all may do,
While the days are going by;
O the good we all may do,
While the days are going by.
Refrain:
Going by, going by,
Yes, the days are going by,
Oh, the good we all may do
While the days are going by.
2 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;
O the world is full of sighs,
Full of sad and weeping eyes;
Help your fallen brother rise,
While the days are going by;
Help your fallen brother rise,
While the days are going by. [Refrain]
3 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;
And will keep our hearts aglow,
While the days are going by. [Refrain]
