Lyrics

Oh, tell of His good­ness today,
And speak of His won­der­ful grace;
All along life’s glo­ri­fied up­ward way,
Let the love-light gleam bright on your face.

Refrain

Oh, tell it, oh, tell it,
At each step in your path­way along;
And bless­ings will come
Like the sweet­ness of sun­light and song.

Oh, tell the sweet sec­ret to­day,
To those who are press­ing around,
Or the loved ones toil­ing be­side the way,
All in sor­row and wretch­ed­ness found.

Refrain

Oh, tell it while yet you can speak
The words full of sweet­ness and cheer;
To sus­tain with hope and up­hold the weak,
Who are fol­l’wing and trem­bling with fear.
