Our lives, we are told,
are but fleeting at best,
Like roses they fade and decay;
Then let us do good
while the present is ours,
Be useful as long as we stay.
Do good unto others,
do good while we can,
Our moments how quickly they fly;
Remember the proverb,
remember it now,
We all can do good if we try.
A look or a smile,
that in kindness we give,
May comfort a desolate heart;
May sweeten a life
that is lonely and sad,
And hope to the weary impart.
Do good unto others,
do good while we can,
Our moments how quickly they fly;
Remember the proverb,
remember it now,
We all can do good if we try.
How many around us
are strangers to God,
How many poor children we see;
If such we could bring
to the foot of the cross,
How grateful and glad we should be.
Do good unto others,
do good while we can,
Our moments how quickly they fly;
Remember the proverb,
remember it now,
We all can do good if we try.
We all can do good,
and we all can bestow
Some gift for the sake of the Lord;
If only a cup of cold water we give,
Our souls will not lose their reward.
Do good unto others,
do good while we can,
Our moments how quickly they fly;
Remember the proverb,
remember it now,
We all can do good if we try.
