The Irish Presbyterian Hymnbook ‎#565

565. O what can little hands do

1 O what can little hands do
to please the King of heaven?
The little hands some work may try,
to help all those in poverty:
such grace to mine be given.

2 O what can little lips do
to please the King of heaven?
The little lips can praise and pray,
and gentle words of kindness say:
such grace to mine be given.

3 O what can little eyes do
to please the King of heaven?
The little eyes can upward look,
can learn to read God's holy book:
such grace to mine be given.

4 O what can little hearts do
to please the King of heaven?
Young hearts, if God His Spirit send,
can love their Maker, Saviour, Friend:
such grace to mine be given.
