You Can Be a Blessing

Author: Maud Frazer Jackson Hymnal: Life Songs #31 (1916) First Line: You can be a blessing while on earth you dwell Refrain First Line: You can be a blessing if you only try Lyrics: 1 You can be a blessing while on earth you dwell; Clouds of grief and sadness you can help dispel; If the love of Jesus you to others show, You can be a blessing ev'rywhere you go. Refrain: You can be a blessing if you only try; You can be a blessing as the days go by; You can be a blessing if you only try. 2 You can be a blessing, lowly tho' your lot; Earthly gold or glory Christ requireth not; If you love Him truly, try His will to do, Deeds of love and mercy He'll perform thro' you. [Refrain] 3 Joy is all in serving; giving is true gain; Losing life for others, life we do retain; Try to carry sunshine to the sad and lone, Cheer another's pathway, bright will be your own. [Refrain] Topics: Missionary work; Work Languages: English Tune Title: [You can be a blessing while on earth you dwell]
