Representative Text

1 Bright is the joy of the girl or boy,
Who in earnest keeps on trying
Some good to do, though the years are few,
And time on wings if flying.

Refrain:
Some good to do, some good to do,
In joy as well as sorrow;
Some good to do, some good to do,
Today, and then tomorrow.

2 Helping the weak with a temper meek,
Is a duty laid before us;
Avoid the wrongs as we pass along,
For Jesus watches o’er us. [Refrain]

3 Bravely we’ll stand in a loving band,
And in earnest keep on trying
Some good to do, though the years are few,
And time on wings if flying. [Refrain]
