While the Days are Going By

There are lonely hearts to cherish,

1

There are lonely hearts to cherish,While the days are going by;There are weary souls who perish,While the days are going by;If a smile we can renew,As our journey we pursue,—O, the good we all may do,While the days are going by!

REFRAIN

Going by, going by,Going by, going by;O, the good we all may do,While the days are going by!

2

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;For the world is full of sighs,Full of sad and weeping eyes;Help your fallen brother rise,While the days are going by.

3

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.
