21. Little Drops

1 Little drops of water,
Little grains of sand,
Make the mighty ocean
And the beauteous land.

2 And the little moments,
Humble tho' they be,
Make the mighty ages
Of eternity.

3 And our little errors
Lead the soul away
From the paths of virtue,
Far in sin to stray.

4 Little deeds of mercy,
Sown by youthful hands,
Grow to bless the nations
Far in heathen lands.

5 Little deeds of kindness,
Little words of love,
Make our earth an Eden
Like the heav'n above.
