LITTLE THINGS.
Do something for each other,
Though small the help may be;
There's comfort oft in little things,
Far more than others see!
It takes the sorrow from the eye,
It leaves the world less bare,
If but a friendly hand come nigh,
When friendly hands are rare!
Then cheer the hearts which toil each hour,
Yet find it hard to live;
And though but little's in our power,
That little let us give.
Though small the help may be;

It leaves the world less bare,
If but a friendly hand come nigh,
When friendly hands are rare!
Then cheer the hearts which toil each hour,
Yet find it hard to live;
And though but little's in our power,
That little let us give.
The poorest hand, if earnest,
Some service may achieve;
The humblest voice, if kindly,
Some sorrow may relieve:
We reck not how the aged poor
Drag on from day to day,
When e'en the little that they need
Costs more than they can pay!
Then cheer the hearts that toil each hour,
Yet find it hard to live;
And though but little's in our power
That little let us give.
Some service may achieve;
The humblest voice, if kindly,
Some sorrow may relieve:
