Go hand in hand with Christ

Representative Text

1 O count no round of life too small, no work too low,
But hand in hand with Christ, your Lord, rejoicing go;
The little things laid at his feet,
Will prove a gift divinely sweet,
A blessing from each kindly deed, will surely flow.

Chorus:
O fill each day with faithful, earnest living,
Look up to God with songs of glad thanksgiving;
In Christ's dear name your best to others bringing;
Pour blessings on the common paths, just ev'rywhere you go.

2 The highway of his holiness, you'll find each day
Lies just along the common road, the dusty way;
Who minister in Jesus' name,
May not be known to wealth or fame,
But near, so near his loving heart they ever stay. [Chorus]

3 In paths where God has bade you walk, on ev'ry side,
You'll find the holy angels bright to guard and guide;
A lowly life the world may bless,
And fill it with new loveliness,
The smallest labors done for him are glorified. [Chorus]
