152. Give the World a Smile

1 Are you giving to the world a smile,
Helping lessen some ones dreary mile?
Do you greet the world with song as thru life you pass along,
Cheering those whom you may meet along life's way?

Refrain:
Give the world a smile each day,
Helping someone on life's way;
From the paths of sin bring the wand'rers in,
To the Master's fold to stay;
Help to cheer the lone and sad,
Help to make the pilgrim glad,
Let your life so be that all the world ma see
The joy of serving Jesus with a smile.

2 You may be a shining light to-day,
Pointing souls to heaven's glory-way
If you let your light so shine that they see the path divine,
And you wear a pleasant smile along life's way. [Refrain]

3 Just a bright and sunny smile will win,
Many souls from dreary paths of sin,
Lift them up on higher plains, where they hear the glad refrains
Of the smiling band of workers on life's way. [Refrain]
