Little drops of water

Julia Carney
1845

Little drops of water,
Little grains of sand,
Make the mighty ocean
And the beauteous land.

And the little moments,
Humble though they may be,
Make the mighty ages
Of eternity.
Little deeds of kindness,
Little words of love,
Mour earth an Eden,
Like the heaven above.

So our little errors
Lead the soul away,
From the paths of virtue
Far in sin to stray.

Little seeds of mercy
Sown by youthful hands,
Grow to bless the nations
Far in heathen lands.

Glory then for everbe
To God on high,
Beautiful and loving,
To eternity.
