Sing away the sha­dows,
Flitting o’er the sky;
Sing of star­ry com­forts,
In the by and by!
Sing of love un­fail­ing,
Mercies ev­er new;
Pardon, peace and bless­ing,
Guidance kind and true.

Refrain

Sing away, sing away,
Hopeful be the lay;
Sing away the sha­dows,
Flitting o’er the sky;
Sing away, sing away,
Trusting eve­ry day;
Sing of star­ry com­forts
In the by and by.

Sing away the sha­dows,
Anxious doubt and fear;
Sing the Sav­ior’s pro­mise,
Bringing sweet­est cheer:
Trust the heav’n­ly Fa­ther,
He for you will care
More than for the spar­rows,
Or the li­lies fair.

Refrain

Sing away the sha­dows,
Selfish they may be;
Love’s own hap­py mu­sic
Brings the light so free,
Lift ano­ther’s bur­den,
Soothe ano­ther’s woe,
Sharing with your neigh­bor,
Joy’s re­turn­ing glow.

Refrain
