Something for Children to Do

lyricist: Mary Sleight, 1868
Composer: William Bradbury, 1864

There is some­thing on earth

For the child­ren to do

For the child that is striv­ing to be

Like the One who once mur­mured

In ac­cents of love

Let the lit­tle ones come un­to Me.

There is some­thing to do

There is some­thing to do

There is some­thing for child­ren to do;

On the beau­ti­ful earth

Where the Sav­ior had birth

There is some­thing for child­ren to do.

There are sweet win­ning words

To the wea­ry and sad

By their glad lov­ing lips to be said;

There are hearts that are wait­ing

By some lit­tle hand

Unto Je­sus the Lord to be led.
