Do All the Good You Can

lyricist: Fanny Crosby, 1905
Composer: Howard Doane

Onward go the sun­beams

Shining all the day;

Looking down upon us

Now they seem to say:

Let your smile be cheer­ful

Ever warm and bright

Make the hearts around you

Happy with its light.

Marching on to­ge­ther

Thro’ this fleet­ing world be­low

Helping one ano­ther

Onward as we go;

Think of what a bless­ing

God the Fa­ther gave to man

Try and do for oth­ers

All the good you can;

Let your smile be cheer­ful

Ever warm and bright

Make the hearts around you

Happy with its light.

Hearts and hands to Je­sus

Gladly we will give

In the path of du­ty

Walking while we live;

Cheering on the sad ones

Lifting those that fall

Shining like the sun­beams

Doing good to all.

With a lov­ing spir­it

While the days are bright

Let us work re­joic­ing

Till the dewy night;

Grateful for the bless­ings

Jesus brought to man

Let us do for oth­ers

All the good we can.
