First Line: How jovial was his laughter
Last Line: And he will make them sing.
Subject(s): Good; Praise
How jovial was his laughter,
How great his gift to share
The things he loved so simply
With thousands everywhere.
Wide-hearted, wise and gentle,
A good man all his days,
He went his way rejoicing,
His life a song of praise.
Wherever he may travel
This is the certain thing:
The people there will love him,
And he will make them sing.
