1 When the way is weary,
Dark and dull and gray,
When the clouds of sorrow
Drift along your way;
Do not grow discouraged,
It cannot last long,
Drive away your sadness
With a little song.

Refrain:
Drive away the clouds,
Drive away the clouds,
Drive away the clouds with a little song;
You need never fear,
For the Lord is near,
Drive away the clouds with a song.

2 When the day is darkened,
That's the time to smile,
That some weary pilgrim's
Way you may beguile;
Looking to the Saviour
With a courage strong,
Knowing He will aid you,
Sing a little song. [Refrain]

3 Mortal eyes so finite
Cannot see the way
Reaching to the portals
Of the golden day;
But a loving Father
Guides us all along,
Can't you trust Him, brother?
Sing a little song. [Refrain]
