Sing Always

Verse 1

Sing with a tuneful spirit, Sing with a cheerful lay, Praise to thy great Creator, While on the pilgrim way; Sing when the birds are waking, Sing with the morning light; Sing in the noontide's golden beam, Sing in the hush of night.

Verse 2

Sing when the heart is troubled, Sing when the hours are long, Sing when the storm-cloud gathers; Sweet is the voice of song; Sing when the sky is darkest, Sing when the thunders roll; Sing of the land where rest remains, Rest for the weary soul.

Verse 3

Sing in the vale of shadows, Sing in the hour of death, And when the eyes are closing, Sing with the latest breath; Sing till the heart's deep longings Cease on the other shore; Then with the countless numbers there, Sing on forever more.
