Methodist Hymn and Tune Book ‎#607

607. Little drops of water

1 Little drops of water
Little grains of sand,
Make the mighty ocean
And the beauteous land.

2 And the little moments,
Humble though they be,
Make the mighty ages
Of eternity.

3 Little deeds of kindness,
Little words of love,
Make our earth an Eden
Like the heaven above.

4 So our little errors
Lead the soul away
From the paths of virtue
Into sin to stray.

5 Little seeds of mercy,
Sown by youthful hands
Grow to bless the nations
Far in heathen lands.
