I have the song from iTunes Music Store but I can't understand some of the lyrics. It's sung by Mahalia Jackson on her Gospels & Spirituals Vol. 2 album. I would like to have the actual lyrics because try as I may there are entire phrases that I simply cannot understand. HELP!
PEACE...preacherbobcs

this was one of my favorite record albums when i spent my summers in the country with my grandmother. here are the lyrics:
smile when you're happy
to smile when you're sad
to be pleasing when mistreated
to be calm when you're mad
always forgiving when someone abuse you for the God Lord look for such
do good each day and smile on your way...it don't cost very much
help the cripple by the wayside
help the blind man cross the street
be careful but kind to strangers
speak politely to those you meet
oh, to the blind man, give him some glasses
to the cripple man, give him a crutch
for the good that you do will come back to you...

It Don't Cost Very Much; Written By Thomas Dorsey
To smile when you're happy, to smile when you're sad
To look pleasing when mistreated
To be calm when you're mad
Oh, be forgiving if someone abuse you
For the good Lord looks for such
Live right each day and smile on your way
It don't cost very much
No it don't cost very much well to place a gentle touch
To give a glass of water to a pilgrim in need of such
Well you may not be an angel and you may not go to church
But the good that you do will come back to you
It don't cost very much
Help the cripple man by the wayside
Help the blind man cross the street
Be careful but kind to strangers
Speak politely to those you meet
Oh, be forgiving if someone abuse you
For the good Lord looks for such
Live right each day and smile on your way
It don't cost very much
No it don't cost very much well to place a gentle touch
To give a glass of water to a pilgrim in need of such
To the blind man, give him glasses
To the cripple man, give him a crutch
For the good that you do will come back to you
It don't cost very much
