BETTER THAN THEM ALL. 
A moderate share of wealth is good 
To cheer us on our way, 
For it has oftentimes the power 
To make December May ; 
And so is beauty, so is health, 
Or genius at our call; 
But a happy, careless, loving heart, 
Is better than them all. 
A heart that gathers hope and faith 
From every springing flower, 
That smiles alike at winter storm 
And gentle summer shower; 
That blesses God for every good, 
Or whether great or small; 
Oh! a happy, hopeful, loving heart. 
Is better than them all. 
’Tis well to hold the wand of power, 
Or wear an honored name, 
And blush to hear the mighty world 
Re-echo with our fame ; 
'Tis well if on our path the smiles 
Of Kings and Nobles fall; 
But to have a happy, trusting heart. 
Is better than them all. 
A heart that with the magic notes 
Of music is beguiled ; 
A heart that loves the pleasant face 
Of every little child ; 
That aideth weakness in distress, 
And heareth duty’s call; 
Oh I such a loving, human heart, 
Is better than them all.
