Be Glad to Serve

lyricist: Augusta Larned, 1893
Composer: Solomon Straub

Little hands

be free in giv­ing;

Little hearts

be glad to serve:

Each un­self­ish act of liv­ing

God fails nev­er to ob­serve.

Little hands

lit­tle hands

Be free in giv­ing!

Little hearts

lit­tle hearts

Be glad to serve

Little hands

lit­tle hands

Be free in giv­ing!

Little hearts

lit­tle hearts

Be glad to serve.

Give not on­ly gold and trea­sure

Give your sym­pa­thy and care

Love that knew not stint or mea­sure

Jesus scat­tered ev­ery­where.

Angels gar­ner up in Heav­en

Every gen­tle word and deed;

All the joy your lives have giv­en

To God’s lit­tle ones in need.
