Keep on the Sunny Side. (Pat's Pick, page 110.)

S Sharps.

There is a sunny side to every path below, Where the birds are singing and the sweetest blos soms blow; In peace and pleasure may the trusting heart abide, Finding joy and comfort on the blessed, sunny side. Meet every conflict with a courage brave and strong; Truth and right shall conquer tho' the fight be fierce and long; While in the battle be a soldier and a guide; Lead the way to vict'ry on the blessed, sunny side. There is a shady side where ceaseless sins abound; Revelry and discord in the darkest depths are found ; There is a path of safety for the sorely tried; Walk with Jesus daily on the blessed, sunny side. Clouds keep the silver lining tow'rds the glowing sun; Gild your darkest trials with a faith that's nobly won; Above the shadows let your trusting heart abide, Faith and hope are shining on the blessed, sunny side. Chobus— Keep on the sunny side, Keep on the sunny side, Keep the sunny side of the road; Keep on the sunny side, Keep on the sunny side, Keep the sunny side of the road. Copyright, 1899, by T.
