34. Help to Set the World Rejoicing

1 O to set the world rejoicing ev’ry day!
O to scatter brightest roses in the way!
O to bring to all the year the smiles of May!
We can do it, we can do it, if we try.

Refrain:
We can do it if we try, you and I,
When upon the gracious Savior we rely;
Help to set the world rejoicing, help to clear a darken’d sky,
Help to bring the blessed sunshine from on high.

2 O to pluck from thorny paths a weed or two,
By some little friendly deed that we may do!
O to print above the clouds to heaven’s blue!
We can do it, we can do it, if we try. [Refrain]

3 O to give a kindly word, a look of cheer!
O to whisper of the loving Friend so near!
O to bring Love’s everlasting kingdom here!
We can do it, we can do it, if we try. [Refrain]
