1 Oh, sing as you go, ‘tis better, you know,
To sing and be glad all the day;
The journey is long, march on with a song;
Your music will brighten the way.

Refrain:
Oh, sin, joyfully sing,
Your music will brighten the way;
Oh, sing, joyfully sing,
Oh, sing and be glad all the day.

2 Oh, sing with your might, for better you’ll fight
The battle with Satan and wrong;
Yes, sing of His pow’r each day and each hour.
And Satan will flee at the song. [Refrain]

3 Oh, sing of His Word, for never was heard
A measure so true or so sweet,
And sinners will hear the message of cheer,
While angels the song will repeat. [Refrain]

4 Oh, joyfully sing, the echoes will ring
Adown the long vista of time,
Till millions shall raise an anthem of praise,
And echo the silvery chime. [Refrain]
