1 As each moment passes by,
All the whole year thro’,
There is something ev’ry day,
Little folks may do.

Refrain:
Work with tiny hearts and hands,
Ev’ry single day,
Building, building for the right,
And driving wrong away,
Building, building for the right,
And driving wrong away.

2 We can try our best to be
Brave and good and true,
So our little lives will grow,
As He wants them to. [Refrain]

3 When we all are older grown,
Then we’ll truly see,
What a very precious thing
Character may be. [Refrain]
