44. The Hallelujah Chorus of the Sky

1 Sometimes when hearts are weary,
The road seems hard and dreary,
Then make the road all cheery
With the hallelujah chorus of the sky.

Refrain:
O the hallelujah chorus of the sky!
We can join the happy anthem if we try,
For just a cross the line,
It shall be yours and mine,
This the hallelujah chorus of the sky.

2 Then cheer your walk with singing,
Joy to the faint heart bringing,
And let your voice be ringing
With the hallelujah chorus of the sky. [Refrain]

3 Life is no time for crying,
Nor over trouble sighing,
But while the days are flying
Join the hallelujah chorus of the sky. [Refrain]

4 The love of Christ is dearer,
The light is beaming clearer,
The time is drawing nearer
To the hallelujah chorus of the sky. [Refrain]
