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.
Every cloud wears a rain­bow
If your heart keeps right.

Refrain

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,
If your heart keeps right,
Every cloud will wear a rain­bow,
If your heart keeps right.

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.

Refrain

There are blos­soms of glad­ness,
’Neath the win­ter’s snow.
From the gloom and the dark­ness
Comes the morn­ing glow.
Never give up the bat­tle,
You will win the fight;
Gain the rest of the vic­tor,
If your heart keeps right.

Refrain
