Would you know earth’s high­est hap­pi­ness?
Would you know its great­est bles­sed­ness?
Would you know its tru­est joy­ful­ness
Make some other heart re­joice.

Refrain

Give a plea­sant smile, speak a kind­ly word,
Lend a hand to help a bro­ther;
Give a plea­sant smile, speak a kind­ly word,
Lend a hand to help ano­ther.

Pleasant smiles will cheer a droop­ing heart,
Kindly words re­lieve a bit­ter smart,
Helping hands to weak­ness strength impart,
Make some oth­er heart re­joice.

Refrain

Many hearts are crushed with bit­ter woe,
Many hearts with grief are bend­ing low,
Many hearts need help you can be­stow,
Make some other heart re­joice.
