Smile and be Glad.
Smile, tho' the heart be breaking;
Smile, though the clouds droop low:
Smile in the morn awak'ning,
Smile when to rest you go.

Think of the day with gladness,
Though toilful the hours and long;
Banish all care and sadness;
Lighten your labors with song.
Though toilful the hours and long;
Banish all care and sadness;
Lighten your labors with song.
Open the door of your sanctum,
That "Holy of Holies"—the heart;
Let in the sunshine that will come,
And be of you ever a part.

And be of you ever a part.
Speak kindly words to the erring—
Harsh one embitter the soul;
Each to the other deferring,
Holding o'er self full control.

Holding o'er self full control.
Be content, be kind, be loving;
Remember the shortness of life;
It's not worth while to be proving—
Constantly arguing with strife.
