120. Do What is Next to Thee

1 Do what is next to thee;
Love doth not measure,
If not thy pleasure
Still thine the peace will be,
Do it with thy might;
Brief is the living,
Bless those in giving,
As in God’s holy sight,

Refrain:
Do with thy might what thy hand finds to do,
Do with thy might what thy hand finds to do,
Do with thy might what thy hand finds to do,
Do with thy might what thy hand finds to do.

2 Do it for Jesus sake,
Tho’ it be trying,
Sweet the denying,
His love can never make,
Do it with all thy strength;
Be not delaying,
But swift obeying,
For right will come at length, [Refrain]

3 Do then with pray’rful heart,
Always rejoicing,
Let thy sweet voicing
Some good to all impart,
Do what is right and meet,
Wait not the morrow,
So shall not sorrow,
Burden love’s willing feet. [Refrain]
