Share Thy Life

Author: T. M. Eastwood Hymnal: Songs for All #71 (1906) First Line: O Christian toil not for thyself Refrain First Line: Then let us seek to bless the world Lyrics: 1 O Christian toil not for thyself, Go share the life God gives, Who lifts the load his brother bears He only, truly lives. Refrain: Then let us seek to bless the world, Our gifts and graces share, Till deserts blossom like the rose, And love smiles ev’rywhere. 2 The rose its fragrance abroad, The spring the brook supplies, The soul that does not others bless Declines, decays and dies. [Refrain] 3 As God himself his love outpours, And scatters mercies wide, So man if he would Godlike be, Must help on ev’ry side. [Refrain] 4 The world is full of wants and woes, And hearts are often sad; The music that God gives to us Is ours to make men glad. [Refrain] Tune Title: [O Christian toil not for thyself]
