Sing A Song

By Florence Adella Bertels

Sing a song of victory,
A heart brimful of cry
Can be soon changed to laughter,
A song will drown a sigh.

Sing of truth that fails not,
Of God who never sleeps;
Sing with confidence in Him
Who His people keeps.

Sunlight chases shadow.
Healthful thoughts chase gloom;
Then good cheer and courage
In the heart find room.

Sing a song of victory,
Life’s strings all in tune;
Singing Faith will soon transform
Night to day’s full noon.
