Alexander's Hymns No. 3 ‎#229

229. A Child’s Prayer

1 God make my life a little light
Within the world to glow;
A little flame that burneth bright,
Wherever I may go.

Refrain:
Wherever I may go,
Wherever I may go,
God make my life a little light
Wherever I may go.

2 God make my life a little flower
That giveth joy to all,
Content to bloom in native bower,
Although the place be small. [Refrain]

3 God make my life a little song
That comforteth the sad
That helpeth others to be strong,
And maketh others glad. [Refrain]

4 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. [Refrain]
