EN 2021 We Are but Little Children Weak

Prov.20.11

Versi Version 1

1

We are but little children weak,

Nor born in any high estate;

What can we do for Jesus’ sake,

Who is so high and good and great?

2

We know the holy innocents

Laid down for Him their infant life,

And martyrs brave and patient saints

Have stood for Him in fire and strife.

3

We wear the cross they wore of old

Our lips have learned like vows to make;

We need not die; we cannot fight;

What may we do for Jesus’ sake?

4

O day by day each Christian child

Has much to do, without, within;

A death to die for Jesus’ sake,

A weary war to wage with sin.

5

When deep within our swelling hearts

The thoughts of pride and anger rise,

When bitter words are on our tongues,

And tears of passion in our eyes;

6

Then we may stay the angry blow,

Then we may check the hasty word,

Give gentle answers back again,

And fight a battle for our Lord.

7

With smiles of peace and looks of love,

Light in our dwellings we may make,

Bid kind good humor brighten there,

And still do all for Jesus’ sake.

8

There’s not a child so weak and small

But has his little cross to take,

His little work of love and praise,

That he may do for Jesus’ sake.
