Sing
a song uv hope, sir,
Ef yewr boun’ ter sing;
A
million ears er lis’nin’
Fur its cheery ring.
A
song uv praise is pecious,
A song uv truth is blest;
A
song uv love is pretty,
But a song uv hope is best.
Sing
a song of hope, sir,
An’ sing it with a gest;
A
million souls er weary,
A waitin’ fur the rest.
A
song uv praise is welcome,
After care an’ strife;
A
song uv joy is gladsome,
But a song uv hope is life.
