Keep On the Sunny Side

1 There is a sunny side to ev’ry path below,
Where the birds are singing and the sweetest blossoms blow;
In peace and pleasure may the trusting heart abide,
Finding joy and comfort on the blessed, sunny side.

Chorus:
Keep on the sunny side,
Keep on the sunny side,
Keep the sunny side of the road;
Keep on the sunny side,
Keep on the sunny side,
Keep the sunny side of the road.

2 Meet ev’ry conflict with a courage brave and strong;
Truth and right shall conquer tho’ the fight be fierce and long;
While in the battel be a soldier and a guide;
Lead the way to vict’ry on the blessed, sunny side. [Chorus]

3 There is a shady side where ceaseless sins abound;
Revelry and discord in the darkest depths are found;
There is a path of safety for the sorely tried;
Walk with Jesus daily on the blessed, sunny side. [Chorus]

4 Clouds keep the silver lining tow’rds the glowing sun;
Gild your darkest trials with a faith that’s nobly won;
Above the shadows let your trusting heart abide,
Faith and hope are shining on the blessed, sunny side. [Chorus]
