158. Oh, the Things We May Do

1 Have you lifted a stone from your brother’s way,
As he struggled along life’s road?
Have you lovingly touched some frail, toil-worn hand,
Shared with some one his heavy load?

Chorus:
Oh, the things we may do, you and I, you and I;
Oh, the love we can give if we try;
Just a word or a song as we’re passing along,
They will count in the great by and by.

2 Have you spoken a word full of hope and cheer?
Have you walked with a slower pace,
Till the weary of heart who were stumbling on,
Took new courage to run the race? [Chorus]

3 Have you held up your light thro’ the shadows dark,
So that somebody else might see?
Have you lived with the Christ thro’ the long, long day,
Gaining many a victory? [Chorus]
