The Little Missionary (Murray)

Composer: James Murray, 1883

I need not go to In­dia

To Chi­na or Ja­pan;

To work for Je­sus here at home

I’ll do the best I can;

I’ll tell of His great love for me

And how I love Him

too

And bet­ter far

I’ll show my love

In all that I may do.

We all may work for Je­sus

Wherever we may be;

I’ll try to work for Je­sus

Who did so much for me.

The lit­tle wa­ter drops come down

To make the flow­ers grow;

The little ri­vu­lets flow on

To bless wher­e’er they go;

The lit­tle seeds make migh­ty trees

To cool us with their shade

If lit­tle things like these do good

To try

I’m not afraid.

I’ll be a mis­sion­ary now

And work the best I may

For if I want to work for God

There sure­ly is a way;

I’ll pray for those who cross the sea

My of­fer­ing

too

I’ll send

And do all that is in my pow­er

This great bad world to mend.
