By Sara J. Glenn. Air "Suwannee River."
Where Florida reclines in beauty
Down by the sea,
White ribbons are fondly on duty,
Looking for the victory.
See, their banner bears the orange blossom,
Emblem of love,
Love, fruitage of the Holy Spirit,
Given by the hand above.
CHORUS
Though sometimes the way seems dreary,
We will not repine,
Well knowing that to hearts aweary
God sends the glad sunshine.
Press we on, and on, and on, O comrades,
Bright burns our zeal;
On our every deed of loving service,
God sets his golden seal.
Grieve not idly over ills and losses,
Press on and on;
What to us life's vanished pains and crosses
When the glorious victory's won?
CHORUS
Now, no more, the day seems dreary,
Nor do we repine;
For into every heart aweary,
God had sent his glad sunshine.
