一 正當時日悄然而過，就有孤寂待撫慰；
正當時日悄然而過，就有疲憊告急危。
願我地上的一段，常能助人歡顏展；
願我常挑別人擔，正當時日悄然過！
（副）悄然過！悄然過！悄然過！悄然過！
願我常挑別人擔，正當時日悄然過！
二 那有餘閒怨天尤人，正當時日悄然過；
常保臉面鮮如早晨，正當時日悄然過。
不免有人在歎息，不免有人心憂悒；
我當用力來扶起，正當時日悄然過！
三 愛的連索時可中斷，正當時日悄然過；
忠心的人逐漸失傳，正當時日悄然過。
但我所撒的善種，日長夜增漸繁榮；
不覺我心受感動，正當時日悄然過！
1. There are lonely hearts to cherish,
While the days are going by;
There are weary souls who perish
while the days are going by;
If a smile we can renew,
As our journey we pursue,
Oh, the good we all may do,
While the days are going by!
Refrain
Going by! Going by!
Going by! Going by!
Oh, the good we all may do,
While the days are going by!
2. There's no time for idle scorning,
While the days are going by;
Let your face be like the morning,
While the days are going by;
Oh, the world is full of sighs,
Full of sad and weeping eyes;
Help your fallen brother rise,
While the days are going by!
3. All the loving links that bind us,
While the days are going by;
One by one, we leave behind us,
While the days are going by;
But the seeds of good we sow,
Both in shade and shine will grow,
And will keep our hearts aglow,
While the days are going by!
