    Be Cheerful

    Be cheerful! Be cheerful!
    At the braking of morn,
    When the sun’s gladd’ning rays
    The earth shall adorn;
    Be cheerful when noon
    Shall its brightness display.
    Be cheerful when eve
    Ends the toil of the day,
    For all nature is cheering
    With harmonious voice;
    All nature is bidding
    Be glad and rejoice.
    PSAS 124.1

    Be cheerful! Be cheerful!
    Whatever thy lot!
    If trouble awaits thee,
    Thy woes are forgot.
    Be cheerful, and light
    Thy path shall surround;
    With cheerfulness let
    Every moment be crowned,
    For all nature is cheering
    With harmonious voice,
    All nature is bidding
    Be glad and rejoice.
    PSAS 124.2

    Be cheerful! Be cheerful!
    Let not the few days
    That we spend on this earth
    Be void of its lays.
    Oft the ills we endure,
    From the future we borrow;
    Then be cheerful to-day-
    Think not of tomorrow;
    PSAS 124.3

    For all nature is cheering
    With harmonious voice,
    All nature is bidding
    Be glad and rejoice.
    PSAS 125.1

    Be cheerful! Be cheerful!
    In life’s joyful spring,
    When summer its beauties
    And glories shall bring.
    Be cheerful when autumn
    Shall mantle in gloom,
    When the winter of age
    Brings near to the tomb;
    For all nature is cheering
    With harmonious voice,
    All nature is bidding
    Be glad and rejoice.
    PSAS 125.2
