10. We All Can Do Good

1 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.

Chorus:
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.

2 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. [Chorus]

3 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. [Chorus]

4 We all can do good, and we all can bestow
Some gift for the sake of our Lord;
If only a cup of cold water we give,
Our souls will not lose their reward. [Chorus]
