Then I Do the Will of God

If I love my friends and neighbors
        Even as I love myself,
If I give as I've been prospered,
        Not the crumbs that I have left,
If I see a brother stumble,
        Reach a hand to help him rise,

Minister comfort to the aged,
        Put some gladness in their eyes,
If I teach the lost the gospel,
        Show them how to walk therein,
If I convert a soul that sinneth
        And hide a multitude of sin,

If I can stand beside a loved one
        When his life on earth is done,
And from an anguished heart can cry out,
        "Not my will, but Thine be done,"
If I take life's bitter lessons
        In trusting faith, yet bear the rod

When He thinks I need chastening,
        Then I do the will of God.
If I arise each Sunday morning
        My heart free from worldly care,
Glad for a chance to serve my Master
        In worship, hymns, refreshing prayer,

If I so some seeds of kindness;
        Scatter sunshine on my way,
Thanking God, my blessed Maker,
        For each bright and glorious day,
If I see someone despairing;
        Put a smile upon his face,

If I love each of God's creatures
        In spite of color, creed, or race,
If I do all these and others,
        If the path of right I trod,
Then I know without a doubting
        That I do the will of God.
