Wondrous Love ‎#61

61. Only

1 Only a word for the Master,
Lovingly, quietly said,
Only a word, yet the master heard,
And some fainting hearts were fed.

Refrain:
Only a word,
Only a word,
Only a word,
yet the Master heard.

2 Only some act of devotion,
Willingly, joyfully done;
Surely ‘twas naught, so the proud world thought,
But yet souls for Christ were won. [Refrain]

3 Only an hour with the children,
Pleasantly, cheerfully given,
Yet seed was sown in that hour alone,
Which would bring forth fruit for heaven. [Refrain]

4 Only— but Jesus is looking
Constantly, tenderly down
To earth, and sees those who strive to please,
And their love He loves to crown. [Refrain]
