O let me say one little word,
Ere I depart,
To soothe one sorrow,
Teach one truth,
And help one heart!
O let me sing one little song,
Before I go,
To wake one wanderer,
Lift one load,
And wing one woe!
O let me breathe one little prayer,
While yet I live,
To bring one blessing,
Heal one hurt,
One sin forgive!
O let me write one little song,
Ere life is o’er,
To cause one comfort,
Save one soul,
Forever more!
