Little hands, be free in giving;
Little hearts, be glad to serve:
Each unselfish act of living
God fails never to observe.
Refrain
Little hands, little hands,
Be free in giving!
Little hearts, little hearts,
Be glad to serve,
Little hands, little hands,
Be free in giving!
Little hearts, little hearts,
Be glad to serve.
Give not only gold and treasure,
Give your sympathy and care,
Love that kne not stint or measure
Jesus scattered everywhere.
Refrain
Angels garner up in Heaven
Every gentle ord and deed;
All the joy your lives have given
To God’s little ones in need.
