13. While the Days are Going By

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 the journey we pursue,
O the good we all may do,
While the days are going by.

Chorus:
Going by, going by,
O 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. [Chorus]

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. [Chorus]
