Bill & Gloria Gaither - Alaskan Homecoming
Let us pause in life's pleasures and count its many tears
While we all sup sorrow with the poor;
There's a song that will linger forever in our ears;
Oh! Hard times come again no more.
'Tis the song
the sigh of the weary
Hard Times
hard times
come again no more
Many days you have lingered around my cabin door;
While we seek mirth and beauty and music light and gay
There are frail forms fainting at the door;
Though their voices are silent
their pleading looks will say
'Tis a sigh that is wafted across the troubled wave
'Tis a wail is heard from the distant shore
'Tis a dirge that is murmured around the lowly grave
Oh! Hard times come again
no more.
