<p>This, one of the most popular hymns to which I have set music, was written by George Cooper. I found it as a poem in a periodical in 1881, and immediately wrote the chorus and composed the tune. It has been much used and greatly blessed in Gospel meetings.</p>

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