When the Lord has given blessing
By a tract or little book,
Do not leave it idly lying in
Some soon-forgotten nook!
There are others to be watered
And hungry souls to feed,
So seek to spread the blessing that
Has reached you in your need.
With its freshness still upon you,
Ere the first glad glow has gone,
Let your heart look up for guidance,
That your hand may pass it on.
And the one from you receiving,
Blessing gaining, just like you,
Can keep that blessing flowing,
And pass it on anew.
And when “the day declares it”
And you hear the words, “Well done,”
How sweet to know the Lord was pleased!
