1. God make my life a little light
Within the world to glow,
A little flame that burneth bright
Wherever I may go.
Refrain:
Wherever I may go, (may go,)
Wherever I may go, (may go,)
God make my life a little light
Wherever I may go.
2. God make my life a little flow’r
That giveth joy to all,
Content to bloom in native bow’r,
Altho’ the place be small.
3. God make my life a little song
That comforteth the sad,
That helpeth others to be strong,
And maketh others glad.
4. God make my life a little staff
Whereon the weak may rest;
That so what health or strength I have
May serve my neighbor best.
