God, make my life a little light Within the world to glow; A little flame that burneth bright, Wherever I may go. God, make my life a little flower That giveth joy to all, Content to bloom in native bower, Although the place be small. God, make my life a little song That comforteth the sad; That helpeth others to be strong, And makes the singer glad. God, make my life a little staff Whereon the weak may rest, That so what health and strength I have May serve my neighbors best. God, make my life a little hymn Of tenderness and praise; Of faith that never waxeth dim. In all His wondrous ways. |
