As you pass on your way,
Thro’ this world of toil and care;
Like the beams of the morning that gently play,
They will leave a sunlight there.
Refrain:
Scatter smiles, bright smiles,
Scatter smiles as you pass on your way;
Scatter smiles, bright smiles,
Scatter smiles, bright smiles.

’Tis but little they cost;
But your heart may never know
What a joy they may carry to weary ones
Who are pale with want and woe. [Refrain]
3 Scatter smiles, bright smiles
O’er the grave of the past,
Where the orphan’s treasure lies;
In the tear drop that glistens there, light will shine,
As the rainbow paints the skies. [Refrain]
4 Scatter smiles, bright smiles,
O’er the young who have strayed,
From the path where once they trod;
You may lead to the fountain of truth again,
You may bring them home to God. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [Scatter smiles, bright smiles] Text Sources: The Golden Censer (New York: William B. Bradbury, 1864)

He conducted a 1000 children choir there, which resulted in music being taught as regular study in public schools of the city. He began writing music and publishing it. In 1847 he went with his wife to Europe to study with some of the music masters in London and also Germany. He attended Mendelssohn funeral while there. He went to Switzerland before returning to the states, and upon returning, commenced teaching, conducting conventions, composing, and editing music books.
