Looking on the Bright Side

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.

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.

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.
