God make my life a little light, Within the world to glow; A little flame that burneth bright, Wherever I may go. God make my life a little flower, That giveth joy to all, Content to bloom in native bower, Although its place be small. God make my life a little song, That comforteth the sad; That helpeth others to be strong, And makes the singer glad. God make my life a little hymn, Of tenderness and praise; In all His wondrous ways.
