16. Things Worth While

1 Seek things worth while, strength as thy day,
Let faith and love illume the way;
Finding in Christ treasures that last,
Joys that will shine when earth is past.

Refrain:
On with a smile, joy is worth while,
Springing from love, born from above,
Ever we sing, joy in our King,
Glory and praise to Jesus bring.

2 Give things worth while, freely impart
Kindness and cheer warming the heart;
Love’s happy light scattering gloom,
Bringing the world sunshine and bloom. [Refrain]

3 Do things worth while; things that will tell;
Grace in the soul deeds will impel;
Hastening hours use for our King;
Now to His cross wanderers bring. [Refrain]
