1 Two useful little friends have I,
My Jesus gave to me,
That I might teach them day by day,
To serve Him faithfully.

Chorus:
Two little friends God gave to me,
His work to help me do,
O may they ever faithful be
To One so good and true.

2 I must not ever let them do
An action mean or wrong,
But only things both good and true,
For they to Him belong. [Chorus]

3 These little friends are my two hands,
The left one and the right,
From evil keep them spotless, Lord,
And clean within Thy sight. [Chorus]

Telegraph, however, it was not until she was a widow with eight children to support that she started writing in earnest. She wrote articles, librettos, nature stories and other works, as well as hymns.
