1 I need not go to India,
To China or Japan;
To work for Jesus here at home
I’ll do the best I can;
I’ll tell of His great love for me,
And how I love Him, too,
And better far, I’ll show my love
In all that I may do.
Refrain:
We all may work for Jesus,
Wherever we may be;
I’ll try to work for Jesus,
Who did so much for me.
2 The little water drops come down
To make the flowers grow;
The little rivulets flow on
To bless where’er they go;
The little seeds make mighty trees,
To cool us with their shade,
If little things like these do good,
To try, I’m not afraid. [Refrain]
3 I’ll be a missionary now,
And work the best I may,
For if I want to work for God,
There surely is a way;
I’ll pray for those who cross the sea,
My offering, too, I’ll send,
And do all that is in my power,
This great bad world to mend. [Refrain]
