Whatever be the depth of woe Along the path that I must go, I'll sing my song – My song of joy for all the love That's lavished on us from above, And count no loss of treasure – trove When things go wrong. I'll sing the sunlight, and the bright Soft smiling stars that gem the night; For gifts of good That God hath spread along my way, The lilt of birds in tuneful play, The harvests full and flowers gay, The whole day long I'll sing my song Of gratitude!

The snow hath retreated,
And now doth fare ill
On the top of the bare hill;

There's life in the fountains;
Small clouds are sailing,
Blue sky prevailing;
The rain is over and gone.
