1 Set a glad song ringing,
Drive the gloom away;
Bring to those about us
Hope and cheer today;
Sing about the beauty,
Scattered far and wide,
From the hand of God above,
On ev’ry side.

Refrain:
Sing of joy,—be no longer sad;
Sing of goo,—think not of the bad;
Sing of pace, God-given,
Sing of hope and heaven;
Be our song the song that makes
The whole world glad.

2 Sing to help the comrade
Weary in the way,
Lift away his burden
By a song today;
All life’s loads are lightened
By hope’s glad refrain,
So let’s sing, as best we may,
A blithe, sweet strain. [Refrain]

3 Sing of God who loves us,
Wayward tho’ we be;
Sing about his blessings,
Scattered far and free;
Lo! while we are singing,
Storm clouds break apart,
And the sunlight streams anew
In ev’ry heart! [Refrain]
