88. Live to Be a Blessing

1 Live to be a blessing in this world of ours;
Like the golden sunshine, like the silver show’rs,
Waken seeds of gladness in the dreary hours;
Live to be a blessing.

Refrain:
More and more,
More and more,
Let his praise abound,
Scatter joy around;
More and more,
More and more,
Live to be a blessing.

2 Keeping close to Jesus, let his peace abide,
Let your life flow onward, in a broad’ning tide,
Fed from fountains rising from his riven side;
Live to be a blessing. [Refrain]

3 Live to be a blessing, wheresoever sent,
In the Master’s service let your days be spent;
Humbly strive to follow as his footsteps went;
Live to be a blessing. [Refrain]
