As thro’ life you jour­ney,
Be a cheer­ing light,
Like the sun at morn­ing,
Beautiful and bright;
Shine in gloomy plac­es,
As you pass them by,
Cheer the lives that sor­row,
Gladden those who sigh.

Refrain

Daily, hour­ly, be a cheer­ing light,
Glowing, gleam­ing, beau­ti­ful and bright;
Like a bea­con burn­ing in the night,
Glowing, gleam­ing, beau­ti­ful and bright.

Like a bea­con burn­ing
On a hill at night,
You may shed around you
Happiness and light;
Try to help the wea­ry,
Thro’ the drea­ry days,
Try to guide the way­ward,
From for­bid­den ways.

Refrain

Steadily and bright­ly,
Shining day by day,
You will scatter bless­ings
All along the way;
Less of care and sor­row,
Many hearts will know,
If you gleam and glist­en
Everywhere you go.

Refrain
