WHO IS IT HAS THE HAPPY FACE?
Who is it has the happy face
Where smiles unceasing play?
Who trips o'er all the thorns of life
Still gayest of the gay?
Oh is it not the heart that bears
No consciousness of sin,
That scatters round it radiant smiles
From self esteem within?
Where smiles unceasing play?
Who trips o'er all the thorns of life
Still gayest of the gay?
Oh is it not the heart that bears
No consciousness of sin,
That scatters round it radiant smiles
From self esteem within?
Who is it has the gentle voice
That sooths away a care?
Who strives to wean you from the past,
And paints the future fair?
Oh is it not the heart that bears
No consciousness of sin,
That scatters round it radiant smiles
From self esteem within?
That sooths away a care?
Who strives to wean you from the past,
And paints the future fair?
Oh is it not the heart that bears
No consciousness of sin,
That scatters round it radiant smiles
From self esteem within?
Who in severest storms, ne'er leaves
The guidance of his bark?
Who e'en in shipwreck clings to hope,
The green leaf of the ark.
Oh is it not the heart that bears
No consciousness of sin,
That scatters round it radiant smiles
From self esteem within?
The guidance of his bark?
Who e'en in shipwreck clings to hope,
The green leaf of the ark.
Oh is it not the heart that bears
No consciousness of sin,
That scatters round it radiant smiles
From self esteem within?
