1 Scatter loving words and deeds
Along life’s rugged way,
Smile upon the weary ones,
Whose hearts are sad today.
From a tender Father’s hand
Come mercies, rich and free,
O share with the rest, that they may be blest,
Give what he lends to thee.

Refrain:
Scatter loving words, scatter kindly deeds,
Freely o’er life’s rugged way,
To help some one today;
Scatter loving words, scatter kindly deeds,
Breathe a message of good cheer,
A word for Christ today.

2 Scatter loving words and deeds,
Tho’ you may never reap,
Seeds when sown by willing hand,
The Lord will safely keep;
Fruitful harvests they may stand
For you in Eden bright,
O give while you may in life’s better day,
For soon will come the night. [Refrain]

3 Scatter loving words and deeds,
Bring heaven down below,
Think of what the Lord would do,
And in his image grow.
Tho’ you may not paint the clouds,
Nor help the stars to shine,
O lead a dear soul to reach the bright goal,
A mission most divine. [Refrain]
