1 God made my life a little light
Within the world to glow;
A little flame that burneth bright,
Wherever I may go.

2 God made my life a little song
That comforteth the sad;
That helpeth others to be strong,
And makes the singer glad.

3 God made my life a little staff,
Whereon the weak may rest,
That so what health and strength I have
May serve my neighbors best.

4 God made my life a little hymn
Of tenderness and praise;
Of faith--that never waxeth dim,
In all His wondrous ways.
