Great Revival Hymns No. 2 ‎#48

48. Is the world Any Better?

1 Is the world any better, my brother,
Because you are passing this way?
Are you trying to win
From the thraldom of sin,
Some wand’ring one now gone astray?

Refrain:
Is the world any brighter,
Men’s cares any lighter,
Because you are passing this way?
Is your God-given light
Shining steady and bright,
To make the world better today!

2 Is the world any brighter, my brother,
More cheerful because of your song?
As you travel life’s road,
Do you lighten the load
Of burdened ones passing along? [Refrain]

3 ‘Tis the time of seed-sowing, my brother,
Tomorrow the Reaper may come.
Sow the seeds here and there,
Scatter truth everywhere,
For the day of the great Harvest Home. [Refrain]
