Little Branches No. 2 ‎#28

28. What Can We Do

1 We are but little children weak,
Nor born in high estate;
What can we do for Jesus' sake,
Who is so good and great?

2 Now we may stay the angry blow,
Now check the hasty word,
Give gentle answers back again,
While fighting for the Lord.

3 With smile of peace, and looks of love,
We each a light may make,
Bid kind, good humor brighten there--
Do all for Jesus' sake.
