If I can help somebody as 1, pass along, If I can cheer somebody with a word or son~ If I can show somebody that is traveling wrong;
Then my living will not be in vain.
If I can do my duty as a Christian ought If I can bring back heart to a world
up wrought, If I can spread -Love's message that the
Master taught.
THEN MY LIVING SHALL NOT ~E IN VAIN.
