Author: Mrs. Arthur Scofield Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Oh, this world has much of sorrow Refrain First Line: Yes 'tis thought for one another Lyrics: 1 Oh, this world has much of sorrow That we all might help allay, We could charm away the sadness If we would but watch and pray; We should do our best to lighten All the burdens others bear, And by simple, kindly action Lift their heavy load of care. Refrain: Yes ‘tis thought for one another That makes life so sweet to live, Just to show a loving spirit And be ready to forgive; When we meet a hungry heart Let us hasten to impart Christ’s own spirit, showing others how to live. 2 Faith and hope may be sweet graces, But in love we’re very sure Will be found life’s highest pleasure, And it always will endure; So when days are dark and dreary We will find some sin-sick heart, And do all we can to lighten His dark pathways ere we part. [Refrain] 3 So ‘tis loving and forgiving Makes life’s darkest pathway light And will guide God’s fallen children To the land where all is bright; Love will answer love in gladness And will brighten all our way, As we travel on our pathway To the land of perfect day. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [Oh, this world has much of sorrow]
