Looking on the bright side, trust­ing all to Him;
Leaning on the Sav­ior when the light is dim;
Tho’ the way be thor­ny and the mount­ain steep,
Looking on the bright side, God the soul will keep.

Refrain

Looking on the bright side all along the way,
Soon we’ll see the sha­dows merg­ing in­to day;
Looking on the bright side, see all bane and blight,
Care and pain and sor­row, pass­ing out of sight.

Looking on the bright side, ev­ery pass­ing day,
We can cheer a tra­vel­er on the nar­row way;
We can tell the sto­ry, tell of Him our guide,
Who was for a world of sin­ners cru­ci­fied.

Refrain

Looking on the bright side, tho’ the sha­dows fall,
God, with­in the sha­dow watch­eth ov­er all;
He is near His child­ren, shields from ev­ery foe,
Gives them peace and com­fort in this world be­low.

Refrain
