Give Said The Little Stream~A Song For Sunday

I remember singing this song when I was a child. I’ve always loved it’s simple message of, Give. It is so easy to hurry on our way and not worry about or help others. But when we do help others it can make our own burdens seem lighter.

Give Said The Little Stream

"Give," said the little stream
"Give, oh, give, give, oh, give
Give," said the little stream
As it hurried down the hill
"I'm small, I know, but wherever I go
The fields grow greener still."

Singing, singing all the day
"Give away, oh, give away"
Singing, singing all the day
"Give, oh, give away."

"Give," said the little rain
"Give, oh, give, give, oh, give
Give," said the little rain
As it fell upon the flowers
"I'll raise their drooping heads again,"
As it fell upon the flowers.

Singing, singing all the day
"Give away, oh, give away"
Singing, singing all the day
"Give, oh, give away."

"Give," then, what you can give
"Give, oh, give, give, oh, give
Give," then, what you can give
There is something all can give
Do as the streams and blossoms do
And for other people live.

Singing, singing all the day
"Give away, oh, give away"
Singing, singing all the day
"Give, oh, give away."
