1 Though you may not cross the ocean,
To the land where heathen dwell,
And to them the wondrous story
Of the love of Jesus tell,
You can be a missionary,
There is much that you can do,
All around are little missions,
That the Lord has giv’n to you.

2 To the doubting ones around you,
To the weary and oppressed,
You can speak kind words of comfort
That will give them peace and rest;
You can serve the old and feeble,
You can go the sick to see,
And your Savior’s voice will whisper,
"Ye have have done it unto Me."

3 Though you may not have great riches,
And your talents may be few,
You should give to God a portion
Of what He has giv’n to you;
Little offerings from the children
Are most precious in His sight,
He will take them and will bless them,
As He did the widow’s mite.
