While The Days Are Going By


THERE are lonely hearts to cherish

While the days are going by;

There are weary souls who perish

While the days are going by;

If a smile we can renew,

As our journey we pursue,

Oh! The good we all may do

While the days are going by.

There's no time for idle scorning

While the days are going by;

Let our face be like the morning

While the days are going by.

Oh! The world is full of sighs,

Full of sad and weeping eyes;

Help your fallen brothers rise

While the days are going by.

All the loving links that bind us

While the days are going by,

One by one we leave behind us

While the days are going by;

But the seeds of good we sow,

Both in shade and shine will grow,

And will keep our hearts aglow

While the days are going by.
