Little Missions

lyricist: Benjamin Chase, 1909
Composer: Rafael Navarro

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.

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 done it un­to Me.

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.
