The Service of Praise ‎#79

79. Deeds of Kindness

1 The little deeds of kindness
Will cheer the aching heart,
The little rays of sunlight
Will make the gloom depart;
Then let the hands be busy,
To make the burdens light,
And let the heart be cheerful,
To make the pathway bright.

Refrain:
The little deeds of kindness,
We do from day to day,
Bring sunshine and gladness
To those along the way.
Then let us not grow weary,
Nor falter in despair;
But earnest and faithful,
Spread sunshine ev’rywhere.

2 Remember how the Savior
Descended from above
To bring the world a blessing
And sow the seed of love.
He’s bidden us to follow,
And made the journey plain;
Then let us also scatter
The seeds of golden grain. [Refrain]

3 Our life will soon be over,
The summer will be past;
The sowing-time, so precious,
Has come and cannot last.
May we be up and doing,
Each moment here employ.
Until our work is ended;
Then we shall reap with joy. [Refrain]
