LAUGH AND BE HAPPY.
Laugh and be happy, laugh while you may,
Laugh 'mid the wild, rushing storms of to-day;
Breasting the current when downward it trends,
Grand is the battle if grandly it ends.

Laugh and be happy: laugh, it is best,
Sailing the wide sweeping sea of unrest;
Though the dark billows are running so high,
Courage! my brother, the haven is nigh.

Laugh and be happy, laugh while you may,
Laugh mid the wild, rushing storms of to-day;
Faith, like a beacon light, woos us along,
Fill the glad moments with laughter and song.
