88 O the Good we may be Doing. Words by Rev. E. A. HOFfman. Music by J. H. TENNEY. 1. Earth is not all joy and sunshine, There are hearts oppress'd with woe; And with words of peace and comfort 2. You can cheer some weary pilgrim, Journeying a long life's way, Com-fort him, and help him on-ward 3. Go thou with a hap-py spirit, Go thou with a cheerful smile, To the homes of sin and sor-row, You may make their lives, so shadow'd, Glow with sunshine as the day. O the good.... we may be do - ing e O the good, नै O the Good we may be Doing. CONCLUded. 89 Rit. 1. Work, for the night is coming, Work thro' the morning hours, Work while the dew is sparkling, Work 'mid springing flow'rs; 2. Work, for the night is coming, Work thro' the sunny noon; Fill brightest hours with labor,-Rest comes sure and soon: 3. Work, for the night is coming, Un-der the sunset skies; While their bright tints are glowing, Work, for daylight flies; 4. Work, for the night is coming, Work, while the fields are white; Work, for thy sands are running, Work, while hopes are bright; 9:4 94 |
