Lyrics:
There's a dark and a troubled side of life
There's a bright, there's a sunny side, too
Though we meet with the darkness and strife
The sunny side we may also view

Keep on the sunny side, always on the sunny side
Keep on the sunny side of life
It will help us every day, it will brighten all the way
If we'll keep on the sunny side of life

The storm and its fury broke today
Crushing hopes that we cherish so dear
Clouds and storms will, in time, pass away
The sun will again shine bright and clear

Let us greet with the song of hope each day
Though the moment be cloudy or fair
Let us trust in our Saviour alway
Who keepeth everyone in his care
