68. Be On the Bright Side

1 Be on the bright side, that is the right side,
Turn from the shadows which brood o’er the way,
Yield not to sorrow, joys come tomorrow,
Walk in the sunshine which gladdens the day.

Refrain:
Be on the bright side, that is the right side,
Travel the path which is sunny and fair,
Be on the bright side, that is the right side,
Turn from the shadows of grief, despair.

2 Be on the bright side, that is the right side,
Turn from the shadows which threat’ningly loom,
Seek for the gladness, losing the sadness,
God sends the sunshine to scatter the gloom. [Refrain]

3 Be on the bright side, that is the right side,
Turn from the shadows which fill thee with fear,
God lives forever, failing thee never,
Gather the sunshine of kindness and cheer. [Refrain]
