Have a blessing ready

September 3

Have a blessing ready,
As you pass along,-
Have a word of kindness,
Or a cheering song;
Many dread the morrow,
With its frowning sky;
Give them hope and courage
Ere you pass them by.

Have a blessing ready
Sent from heav’n above;
Have a tender message,
Or a look of love;
There are souls that wander-
Do not question why;
Warn them of their danger
Ere you pass them by.

Have a blessing ready
With you all the while;
Have a precious promise,
Or a happy smile;
There are hearts that sorrow,
Tell them help is nigh;
Give them words of comfort
Ere you pass them by.

Chorus
Have a blessing ready
As you pass along;
Have a word of kindness,
Or a cheering song;
Bear another’s burden-
God has made you strong;
Have a blessing ready
As you pass along.
