  1. There are lonely hearts to cherish,
    While the days are going by;
    There are weary souls who perish,
    While the days are going by;
    If a smile we can renew,
    As our journey we pursue,
    Oh, the good we all may do,
    While the days are going by.
    • Refrain:
      Going by, going by,
      Going by, going by;
      Oh, the good we all may do,
      While the days are going by.
  2. There’s no time for idle scorning,
    While the days are going by;
    Let your face be like the morning,
    While the days are going by;
    Oh, the world is full of sighs,
    Full of sad and weeping eyes;
    Help your fallen brother rise,
    While the days are going by.
  3. All the loving links that bind us,
    While the days are going by;
    One by one we leave behind us,
    While the days are going by;
    But the seeds of good we sow,
    Both in shade and shine will grow,
    And will keep our hearts aglow,
    While the days are going by.
