There's a dark and a troubled side of life
G
There's a bright, there's a sunny side, too
G7 C
Tho' we meet with the darkness and strife
G C
The sunny side we also may view
C F C
Keep on the sunny side, always on the sunny side
G
Keep on the sunny side of life
C F C
It will help us every day, it will brighten all the way
G C
If we'll keep on the sunny side of life
The storm and its fury broke today
Crushing hopes that we cherish so dear
Clouds and storms will, in time, pass away
The sun again will shine bright and clear
Chorus
Let us greet with the song of hope each day
Tho the moment be cloudy or fair
Let us trust in our Saviour always
Who keepeth everyone in His care
Chorus
