Little drops of water,

Little grains of sand,

Make the mighty ocean

And the beauteous land.

And the little moments,

Humble though they be,

Make the mighty ages

Of eternity.

Little deeds of kindness,

Little words of love,

Make our earth an Eden,

Like the Heaven above.

So our little errors

Lead the soul astray

From the paths of virtue

Into sin to stray.

Little seeds of mercy

Sown by youthful hands,

Grow to bless the nations

Far in heathen lands.

Little ones in glory

Swell the angels’ song;

Make us meet, dear Saviour,

For their holy throng.
