If I can help a neighbor.. Who's burdened with a care... If I can help a friend... To breath a humble prayer... If I can cheer the aged... Or even a little child... By bringing joy and happiness... Until I see a smile... If I can visit the sick.. Upon their beds of pain... And do my very best... To make them well again... If I can bring a ray of Hope To those in deep despair And give them strong assurance That God answers prayer If I can comfort the bereaved Whose loss has brought on night And point them to that blessed hope Where they can see the light If I can fellowship with friends In praising God above For all his wondrous work And for his gifts of Love If I can work with patience While in my heart a song That tells the whole wide world That to Christ Jesus I belong And if I do not fail To listen and to pray Then I can go rejoicing On my homeward way
