Give like the little stream.

There’s a Primary song called “Give,” Said the Little Stream that encourages us to have an unselfish attitude.

In the song, this little stream gives an adorable pep talk:

“I’m small, I know, but wherever I go the fields grow greener still.” (Scroll down for other lyrics.)

We may not be able to change the world in some big heroic way today. But wherever we go, we can either leave a trail of apathy and cynicism, or compassion and positivity. Let’s choose the latter!

Your kindness makes a difference.

“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.”

Chorus:
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 flow’rs;
“I’ll raise their drooping heads again,”
As it fell upon the flow’rs.

[Chorus]

Give, then, as Jesus gives,
Give, oh! give, give, oh! give.
Give, then, as Jesus gives;
There is something all can give.
Do as the streams and blossoms do:
For God and others live.

[Chorus]
