1 Our lives, we are told, are but fleeting at best, Like roses they fade and decay; Then let us do good while the present is ours, Be useful as long as we stay. Chorus: Do good unto others, do good while we can, Our moments how quickly they fly; Remember the proverb, remember it now, We all can do good if we try. 2 A look or a smile, that in kindness we give, May comfort a desolate heart, May sweeten a life that is lonely and sad, And hope to the weary impart. [Chorus] 3 How many around us are strangers to God, How many poor children we see; If such we could bring to the foot of the cross, How grateful and glad we should be. [Chorus] 4 We all can do good, and we all can bestow Some gift for the sake of our Lord; If only a cup of cold water we give, Our souls will not lose their reward. [Chorus]
