O, the Things We May Do

Verse 1

Have you lifted a stone from your brother’s way, As he struggled along life’s road? Have you lovingly touched some frail, toil-worn hand, Shared with some one his heavy load?

Chorus

Oh, the things we may do, you and I, you and I; Oh, the love we can give if we try; Just a word or a song as we’re passing along, They will count in the great by and by.

Verse 2

Have you spoken a word full of hope and cheer? Have you walked with a slower pace, Till the weary of heart who were stumbling on, Took new courage to run the race?

Verse 3

Have you held up your light thro’ the shadows dark, So that somebody else might see? Have you lived with the Christ thro’ the long, long day, Gaining many a victory?
