192. Life Is What We Make It

1 Life is what we make it,
Let us make it good,
Fill it full of kindness,
As we know we should.
Deeds of love and mercy,
Words of help and cheer,
Make the world a gladsome place
With naught to fear.

Chorus:
Life is what we make it,
Be it what it may;
So for strength to make it right,
Dear Lord we pray.

2 Life is what we make it,
Let us make it true,
Loyal to the Master,
Staunch in all we do.
Bravely stand for justice,
Quickly right a wrong,
Thus we’ll make a better world
Thro’ courage strong. [Chorus]

3 Life is what we make it,
Let us make it pure,
Building for the Spirit
Homes that will endure.
Paradise is with us
When our tho’ts are sweet,
Bringing heaven down to earth
In peace complete [Chorus]
