With sweet and joyous music I’ll cheer some other life, A happy Christ all the time. Chorus: When other joys are fleeting, There’s peace within my heart, For I can hear the blessed joy-bells chime; With sweet and joyous music I’ll cheer some other life, A happy Christ all the time. 2 Unto my weaker brother I’ll lend a helping hand— As day by day the hill of life I climb— To make the long road brighter, Till at the top I stand: A happy Christ all the time. [Chorus] 3 My Savior I will follow, Like Him I’ll try to be; My aid, to imitate His life sublime: My light to so keep shining That all the world may see, A happy Christ all the time.
