SERVE GOD AND BE CHEERFUL

Serve God and be cheerful. Make brighter

The brightness that falls to thy lot;

The rare, or the daily sent, blessing

Profane not with gloom or with doubt.

Serve God and be cheerful. Each sorrow

Is—with thy will in God's—for the best.

O'er the cloud hangs the rainbow. To-morrow

Will see the blue sky in the west.
