If Your Heart Keeps Right (EN 785)

1

If the dark shadows gather as you go along,

Do not grieve for their coming; sing a cheery song.

There is joy for the taking; it will soon be light.

Ev’ry cloud wears a rainbow if your heart keeps right.

If your heart keeps right,

There’s a song of gladness in the darkest night.

If your heart keeps right,

Ev’ry cloud will wear a rainbow,

If your heart keeps right.

2

Is your life just a tangle full of toil and care?

Smile a bit as you journey, others’ burdens share.

You’ll forget all your troubles, making their lives bright.

Skies will grow blue and sunny, if your heart keeps right.

3

There are blossoms of gladness, ’neath the winter’s snow.

From the gloom and the darkness come the morning glow.

Never give up the battle, you will win the fight;

Gain the rest of the Victor, if your heart keeps right.
