We sang this song during Sunday evening service. It was a favourite of Pastor Dorant Brown who always played his guitar while we sang it.
You Can Have A Song
You can have a song
In your heart in the night
After every trial
After every mile
Anyone can sing
When the sun’s shining bright
But you need a song
In your heart at night.

The words for the hymn are as follows:
by E.L. Slavens and Ira Stanphill:
You can have a melody down in your heart,
When it’s aching, almost breaking.
Even tho’ the sorrow makes the teardrop start,
You can have a melody down in your heart.
Chorus:
You can have a song in your heart in the night
After every trial, after every mile.
Anyone can sing when the sun is shining bright,
But you need a song in your heart at the night.
Do not let your worries drive your song away,
Though tomorrow brings its sorrow,
Just remember after night time comes the day.
Do not let your worries drive your song away.
Soon the night will pass and morning brings the day;
I am longing for its dawning,
until then we’ll labor here and watch and pray,
Soon the night will pass and morning bring the day.

I learned this hymn at a Word of Life camp 40 years ago, along with other New Tribes missionary kids. We sang it, I think, at every session. Everyone loved it!
