Alexander's Hymns No. 3 ‎#98

98. Make Your Life a Blessing

1 Make your life a blessing as you onward go,
Lighten up dark corners, make them brightly glow;
Shed a ray of sunshine bright, lead some soul from shades of night,
Into perfect realms of light below.

Refrain:
Make your life a blessing over life’s rough way,
Make your life a blessing, shed a cheering ray;
Make the Saviour your design,
Let your light forever shine,
And be a blessing ev’ry day.

2 Make your life a blessing, full of joy complete,
Clear away the thorns that pierce another’s feet;
Put to flight their doubt and fear, bid the shadows disappear,
By a happy word of cheer so sweet. [Refrain]

3 Make your life a blessing, sing of hope and love,
Till the ringing echoes reach the dome above;
Be a calm when storms are rife, glorify the walks of life,
And a refuge from the strife e’er prove. [Refrain]
