O, the Things We May Do

Have you lift­ed a stone

From your bro­ther’s way

As he strug­gled along life’s road?

Have you lov­ing­ly touched

Some frail

toil worn hand

Shared with some­one his hea­vy load?

O

the things we may do

You and I

you and I;

O

the love we can give if we try;

Just a word or a song

As we’re pass­ing along

They will count in the great by and by.

Have you spok­en a word

Full of hope and cheer?

Have you walked with a slow­er pace

Till the wea­ry of heart

Who were stum­bling on

Took new cour­age to run the race?

Have you held up your light

Thro’ the sha­dows dark

So that some­bo­dy else might see?

Have you lived with the Christ

Thro’ the long

long day

Gaining many a vic­to­ry?
