WHAT THE LITTLE THINGS SAID. 



O. B. Bnowx. 



1. " I'll hie me down to yon-der bank," A lit - tie rain-drop said, "And 



2. "I may not lin-ger," said the brook,"But rip -pie on my way, And 



try to cheer that lone - ly flow'r, And cool its moss - y bed : Per - 

 help the rills and riv - ers all To make the o- cean spray; " "And 



haps the breeze will chide me, Be - cause I am so small; . But, 

 I must haste to la - bor," Re - plied the bus - y bee, " The 



sure - ly, I must do my best, For God has work for all." 

 Sum-mer days are long and bright.And God has work for me." 



3. 

 If little things that God has made 



Are useful in their kind, 

 Oh I let us learn a simple truth, 



And bear it in our mind : 

 That every child can praLje Him, 



However weak and small ; 

 Let each with joy remember this, 



The Lord has work for t\[.
