1. Make your life a song of gladness,
Let its music thrill the days;
Till the light of faith and courage
Fills the world with joy and praise.
Chorus:
Make your life (Make your life) a song of gladness,
Full of faith (full of faith,) without a fear; (without a fear;)
You will find (you will find) its echoes ringing,
Like sweet vesper bells of cheer.
2. Make your life a song of gladness
For the honor of your Lord;
Blending with His will and purpose
Harmonies of sweet accord.
3. Make your life a song of gladness,
With a cadence sweet and low;
Full of comforting compassion
For the world’s unmeasured woe.
4. Make your life a song of gladness,
Tho’ the days be dark or fair;
From the worn and heavy-laden
You may lift a load of care.
