Scatter Smiles As You Go

1 Scatter smiles, bright smiles, as you pass your way
Thro’ this world of toil and care;
Like the beams of the morning that gently play,
They will leave a sunlight there.

Chorus:
Scatter smiles, bright smiles,
Scatter smiles as you pass on your way,
Scatter smiles, bright smiles,
Scatter smiles, bright smiles.

2 Scatter smiles, bright smiles, 'tis but little they cost;
But your heart may never know
What a joy they may carry to weary ones,
Who are pale with want and woe. [Chorus]

3 Scatter smiles, bright smiles o'er the grave of the past,
Where the orphan’s treasure lies;
In the tear-drop that glistens there light will shine,
As the rainbow paints the skies. [Chorus]

4 Scatter smiles, bright smiles, o'er the young who have strayed
From the path where once they trod;
You may lead to the fountain of truth again,
You may bring them home to God. [Chorus]

5 Scatter smiles, bright smiles, as you pass on your way
Through this word of toil and care;
Like the beams of the morning that gently play,
They will leave a sunlight there. [Chorus
