While the Days are Going By

Author: George Cooper Appears in 156 hymnals First Line: There are lonely hearts to cherish Refrain First Line: While going by, while going by Lyrics: 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, Oh, the good we all may do, While the days are going by. Refrain: While going by, While going by, Oh, the good we may be doing,, 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. Oh, the world is full of sighs, Full of sad and weeping eyes; 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. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [There are lonely hearts to cherish]

Waiting at the Pool
