You may banish care and sadness
As you journey on life's way,
You may change the gloom to gladness,
You may change the night to day,
By a word of kindness spoken,
By a little loving token,
You may heal the heart that's broken,
Chorus
Yes, oh yes, you may, Yes, you may, yes, you may,
Lighter someone's burden on your way.
Yes, you may, yes, you may,
Make your life a blessing, oh, yes you may.
You may lighten pain and sorrow,
As you journey on life's way,
You may hearten for the morrow
Those who faint and fall today;
By another's sorrow sharing,
By another's burden bearing,
You may help the onward faring,
#Chorus
You may lighten care and labor,
As you journey on life's way,
You may prove a friend and neighbor
To the sad and lone each day;
Ever upward, onward pressing,
Till the crown of life possessing,
You may make your life a blessing,
#Chorus
Lyrics George O.Webster
