115 Sincerity Very many are the blessings Cast around our pilgrim way, Kindly greetings, loves caressings Cheer our hearts from day to day; But of all the things we see Loveliest is Sincerity Friends may look with smiles upon us, Help us forward on the way, Give the grasp of seeming fondness Chase the cares of life away; But what kindness will it be If it lacks Sincerity We would chant in glowing numbers Words of love & deeds of fame But the eye that never slumbers Might deny them e'en a name; For his awful scrolls on high, Are Records of Sincerity
