God Make My Life a Little Light

God make my life a lit­tle light

Within the world to glow;

A ti­ny 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 its 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.
