GIVE ME THINE HEART
Let me do some little thing
For the love of Christ my King:
Something brave and gentle too,
Something He would have me do.
For the love of Christ my King:
Something brave and gentle too,
Something He would have me do.
Let me say some little word
For the love of Christ my Lord:
Little word of help or praise;
Little kindly word always.
For the love of Christ my Lord:
Little word of help or praise;
Little kindly word always.
Let me bear some little thing
For the love of Christ my King:
Little disappointment, loss;
Not be sullen, not be cross.
For the love of Christ my King:
Little disappointment, loss;
Not be sullen, not be cross.
P'raps I mayn't do anything
Specially to please my King:
Maybe none will want my deed;
Maybe none my word will need.
Specially to please my King:
Maybe none will want my deed;
Maybe none my word will need.

P'raps I shan't be vexed at all;
P'raps “all right” till evenfall:
Shall I then, to please my King,
Have no little offering?
P'raps “all right” till evenfall:
Shall I then, to please my King,
Have no little offering?
No. There's something yet more fair
Than to do, or speak, or bear:
So all day I'll try to be
What my King desires of me.
Than to do, or speak, or bear:
So all day I'll try to be
What my King desires of me.
And, when I kneel down at night,
Fold my hands in Jesus' sight,
Tell Him that I've tried to be
All that he would like to see;
Fold my hands in Jesus' sight,
Tell Him that I've tried to be
All that he would like to see;
Say I've loved Him all the day.—
Then I think He'll smile and say:
Little child, you've done your best,
And I love you. Go to rest.
Then I think He'll smile and say:
Little child, you've done your best,
And I love you. Go to rest.
