Author: James Rowe Hymnal: Coronation Hymns #19 (1913) First Line: In this world of sin and strife Refrain First Line: For a smile, for a smile Lyrics: 1 In this world of sin and strife, In this cold and stormy life, Where we see so much of trouble all the while; There are those who, day by day, Tread a lonely, friendless way, Vainly waiting, vainly watching for a smile. Chorus: For a smile, for a smile, They are waiting, they are watching for a smile; For a smile, for a smile, They are waiting, they are watching for a smile. 2 Friends to help them they have had, Whose sweet voices made them glad, As their music would the weary hours beguile; One by one they all have gone, Left alone to wander on, Vainly waiting, vainly watching for a smile. [Chorus] 3 Heavy burdens press them down, Stormy skies above them frown, And the path seems growing darker ev'ry mile; No one points them to the throne, So they wander all alone, Vainly waiting, vainly watching for a smile. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [In this world of sin and strife]
