“A merry heart does good like medicine.” Proverbs 17:22
1. Soft, soft, music is stealing,
Sweet, sweet, lingers the strain;
Loud, loud, now it is pealing,
Waking the echoes again!
Yes, yes, yes, yes,
Waking the echoes again!
2. Join, join, children of sadness,
Send, send, sorrow away;
Now, now, changing to gladness,
Warble this beautiful lay;
Yes, yes, yes, yes,
Warble this beautiful lay.
3. Hope, hope, fair and enduring,
Joy, joy, bright as the day;
Love, love, heav’n insuring,
Sweetly invites you away;
Yes, yes, yes, yes,
Sweetly invites you away;
Yes, yes, yes, yes,
Sweetly invites you away.
