When the heart is weary
And the road is long;
When the day is dreary,
Sing a little song.
Sing it in the spirit;
Let joy linger near it;
And your heart will hear it,
Hear it and be strong.
When your hope is paling,
When your plans go wrong,
When your dreams are failing,
Sing a little song.
Send it thrilling, winging,
Sunshine with its bringing.
It will wake to singing
Others in the throng.
