“I cannot do great things for Him,
Who did so much for me;
But I would like to show my love,
Lord Jesus, unto Thee!
Faithful in very little things,
O Saviour! may I be.
“There are small things in daily life
In which I may obey,
And thus may show my love to Thee;
And always—every day—
There are some little loving words
Which I for Thee may say.
“There are small trials I may take,
Small burdens I may bear,
Small acts of faith, and deeds of love.
Small sorrows I may share;
And little bits of work for Thee
I may do everywhere.
“So I ask Thee, Lord, to give me grace
My little place to fill,
That I may ever walk with Thee.
And ever do Thy will;
And in each duty, great or small,
I may be faithful still.”
