Tho' Your Heart May Be Heavy With Sorrow And Care

Tho' your heart may be heavy with sorrow and care,

You may others to gladness beguile,

If a face like the light of the morning you wear,

And carry your cross with a smile!

Refrain

Carry your cross with a smile,

Carry your cross with a smile;

You may others from sadness to gladness beguile,

If you carry your cross with a smile.

Let the well by the wayside that flows unto all

Strength impart for each step of the mile;

Let your faith the great promises often recall,

And carry your cross with a smile!

Refrain

For the work that you faithfully, willingly do,

You shall reap a reward after while;

Only grace in your service can glorify you,

So carry your cross with a smile!

Refrain
