Way To Happiness

The way to happiness:

• Keep your heart free from hate,
• Your mind from worry.
• Live simply,
• Expect much.
• Fill your life with love.
• Scatter sunshine.
• Forget, self, think of others.
• Do as you would be done by.

Try this for a week and you will be surprised.

Pass Me Not

Pass me not, O gentle Savior,

hear my humble cry;

while on others thou art smiling,

do no pass me by,

Savior, Savior, hear my humble cry;

while on others thou are calling;

do not pass me by.
