|
<p>O Lord, the holy innocents<br>
|
|
Laid down for Thee their infant life,<br>
|
|
And martyrs brave and patient saints<br>
|
|
Have stood for Thee in fire and strife.</p>
|
|
<p>We wear the cross they wore of old<br>
|
|
Our lips have learned like vows to make;<br>
|
|
We need not die; we cannot fight;<br>
|
|
What may we do for Jesus’ sake?</p>
|
|
<p>O day by day each Christian child<br>
|
|
Has much to do, without, within;<br>
|
|
A death to die for Jesus’ sake,<br>
|
|
A weary war to wage with sin.</p>
|
|
<p>When deep within our swelling hearts<br>
|
|
The thoughts of pride and anger rise,<br>
|
|
When bitter words are on our tongues,<br>
|
|
And tears of passion in our eyes.</p>
|
|
<p>Then we may stay the angry blow,<br>
|
|
Then we may check the hasty word,<br>
|
|
Give gentle answers back again,<br>
|
|
And fight a battle for our Lord.</p>
|
|
<p>With smiles of peace and looks of love,<br>
|
|
Light in our dwellings we may make,<br>
|
|
Bid kind good humor brighten there,<br>
|
|
And do all still for Jesus’ sake.</p>
|
|
<p>There’s not a child so weak and small<br>
|
|
But has his little cross to take,<br>
|
|
His little work of love and praise,<br>
|
|
That he may do for Jesus’ sake.</p>
