This world is so hard and so stony;

That if a man is to get through,

He'd need have the courage of Nelson,

And plenty of Job's patience too.

But a man who is kind to another

And cheerfully helps him along,

God Bless such a man and a brother,

And here's to his health in a song.

And here's to his health, here's to his health

And here’s to his health in a song.

All sing Chorus:

And here's to his health, here's to his health

And here's to his health in a song.

2.-Solo:

This life is as cheerless as Winter,

To those who are cold in the heart;

but a man who is warm in his nature,

Bids Winter for ever depart

The ground that he treads on will blossom,

`Till beauty around him shall throng;

God Bless such a man and a brother,

And here's to his health in a song.

And here's to his health; here's to his health

And here's to his health in a song.

All sing Chorus

3.-Solo:

As clouds that in sunshine are open,

And silvered by light passing through;

So men who are generous in spirit,

Are blessed by the good deeds they do;

There's nothing like helping another

For getting one's own self along;

Who does this is truly a brother.

And here’s to his health in a song.

And here's to his health; here's to his health

And here’s to his health in a song.

All standing sing chorus
