We Are But Little Children Weak,
Nor Born In Any High Estate;
What Can We Do For Jesus’ Sake,
Who Is So High, And Good, And Great ?

Oh, Day By Day Each Christian Child
Has Much To Do, Without, Within ;
A Death To Die For Jesus’ Sake,
A Weary War To Wage With Sin.

When Deep Within Our Swelling Hearts
The Thoughts Of Pride And Anger Rise ;
When Bitter Words Are On Our Tongues,
And Tears Of Passion In Our Eyes

Then We May Stay The Angry Blow,
Then We May Check The Hasty Word ;
Give Gentle Answers Back Again,
And Fight A Battle For Our Lord.

With Smiles Of Peace And Looks Of Love
Light In Our Dwellings We May Make;
Bid Kind Good Humour Brighten There
And Still Do All For Jesus’ Sake.

There’s Not A Child So Small And Weak
But Has His Little Cross To Take,
His Little Work Of Love And Praise
That He May Do For Jesus’ Sake.
