Keep the Heart Singing
Chas. H. Gabriel (1902) • English
Primary Scripture: Psalm 28:7
Verse 1
We may lighten toil and care, Or a heavy burden share, With a word, a kindly deed, or sunny smile; We may girdle day and night With a halo of delight, If we keep the heart singing all the while.
Chorus
Keep your heart singing all the while, (singing, singing all the while;) Make the world brighter with a smile, (brighter, brighter with a smile;) Keep the song ringing! lonely hours we may beguile, If we keep the heart singing all the while.
Verse 2
If His love is in the soul, And we yield to His control, Sweetest music will the lonely hours beguile; We may drive the clouds away, Cheer and bless the darkest day, If we keep the heart singing all the while.
Chorus
Keep your heart singing all the while, (singing, singing all the while;) Make the world brighter with a smile, (brighter, brighter with a smile;) Keep the song ringing! lonely hours we may beguile, If we keep the heart singing all the while.
Verse 3
How a word of love will cheer, Kindle hope, and banish fear, Soothe a pain, or take away the sting of guile; Oh, how much we all may do, In the world we travel thro', If we keep the heart singing all the while.
Chorus
Keep your heart singing all the while, (singing, singing all the while;) Make the world brighter with a smile, (brighter, brighter with a smile;) Keep the song ringing! lonely hours we may beguile, If we keep the heart singing all the while.
