In a World Where Sorrow
In a World Where Sorrow
1. In a world where sorrowEver will be known,Where are found the needy,And the sad and lone;How much joy and comfortYou can all bestow,If you scatter sunshineEverywhere you go.
Scatter sunshine all along your wayCheer and bless and brightenEvery passing day;Scatter sunshine all along your wayCheer and bless and brightenEvery passing day.
2. Slightest actions oftenMeet the sorest needs,For the world wants dailyLittle kindly deeds;Oh, what care and sorrowYou may help remove,With your songs and courage,Sympathy and love.
Scatter sunshine all along your wayCheer and bless and brightenEvery passing day;Scatter sunshine all along your wayCheer and bless and brightenEvery passing day.
3. When the days are gloomy,Sing some happy song;Meet the world repiningWith a courage strong;Go with faith undauntedThro’ the ills of life,Scatter smiles and sunshineO’er its toil and strife.
Scatter sunshine all along your wayCheer and bless and brightenEvery passing day;Scatter sunshine all along your wayCheer and bless and brightenEvery passing day.
