Representative lyrics
English (Original Language)
1. Let’s be kind to one another, Let us win each other’s love, Let each be a sister, brother, As the angels are above. Lets be strong and pure and holy While as mortals here we stay, Spreading deeds of love and kindness ’Round our pathway ev’ry day; Yes, we should let love and kindness Be our motto day by day.
2. Many hearts are sad and weary Of the world with all its toil. All this gloom, however dreary, Might be banished by a smile. And that smile would cost you nothing, Nothing more than would a frown; One would raise them up to heaven, While the other casts them down; Let us then make earth a heaven— Turn to kindly smiles our frowns.
