| Text: | A Little Light |
| Author: | M. B. Edwards |
| Tune: | HOLY CROSS |
| Composer: | Mendelssohn |
1. God make my life a little light
Within the world to glow.
A little flame that burneth bright,
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 makes the singer glad.
4. God make my life a little staff,
Whereon the weak may rest,
That so what health and strength I have
May serve my neighbors best.
