There Are Lonely Hearts to Cherish

[anna274]

Let your light shine before men.  Matt 5:16

THERE ARE LONELY HEARTS TO CHERISH  Cooper, 1870

There are lonely hearts to cherish,
While the days are going by;
There are weary souls perishing,
While the days are going by;
If a smile we can renew
As our journey we pursue,
Oh, the good we all may do,
While the days are going by.


There's no time for idle scorning,
While the days are going by;
Let your face be like the morning,
While the days are going by;
Oh, the world is full of sighs,
Full of sad and weeping eyes;
Help your fallen brother rise,
While the days are going by.

All the loving links that bind us,
While the days are going by;
One by one we leave behind us,
While the days are going by;
But the seeds of good we sow,
Both in shade and shine will grow,
And will keep our hearts aglow,
While the days are going by.


Eph 4:1, 29 (AMP)

v 1  I, therefore, the prisoner for the Lord, appeal to and beg you to walk (lead a life) worthy of the [divine] calling to which you have been called with behavior that is a credit to the summons to God's service,

v 29  Let no worthless talk ever come out of your mouth, but only such as is good and beneficial to the spiritual progress of others, as is fitting to the need and the occasion, that it may be a blessing and give grace to those who hear it.
