Smile upon your undone labor;
Not for one who grieves
Ger his task waits wealth or glory
He who smiles achieves
though you meet with loss and sorrow
In the passing years,
Smile little smile a little,
Even through your tears.

We have sought TO scatter sunshine
in a dark and cherries place;
Loving words have given courage,
Enlightened many weary face,
In The Joy OF helping others
Gods good time we waste no more.
Since our life has found its mission.
Found IL at the very door.
Oh, the little deeds Of kindness
And the words OF hope and cheer.
And the smile that costs so little,
But they make 1t Heaven here
