The day long is passed when 'twas given,
But the kind act so graciously done;
Will remain an eternal emblem
Of blessings scattered at morn.
But the kind act so graciously done;
Will remain an eternal emblem
Of blessings scattered at morn.
How little we think in the morning,
That chances are passing our way;
If we would but only seize them
They would carry a memory for aye.
That chances are passing our way;
If we would but only seize them
They would carry a memory for aye.
Of a kind deed tenderly given,
A pleasant word earnestly said
May win a soul to Heaven
When thro Christ this small stream is fed.
A pleasant word earnestly said
May win a soul to Heaven
When thro Christ this small stream is fed.
Until by the wide river's waters
Of gentle acts, words and deeds,
We receive our full share of God's mercies
For sharing with those who need.
