If I But Knew
 
If I but knew some little thing
And ever follow in their wake
Of some misguided deed of mine
That causes weary hearts to pine,
Or follow words too harshly said
And leave a soul alive, yet dead.
 
If I but knew what life would be
If I should try most earnestly
To do the little things I can,
To work for good and ever plan
To lift man's load with cheerful song
As we by labor trudge along.
 
If I but knew some little deed
That I could do to help the need
Of those who are in sore distress,
Whom by actions I could bless
And lighten loads that they must bear
Thus make their life more bright and fair.
 
If I but knew some little thing
That peace and comfort ever bring;
I could not help but put an alm
In every worthy outstretched palm;
I could not help but say kind things
When every word much comfort brings.
 
If I but knew how great the need
Of each kind act and worthy deed;
The worthlessness of sneers and growls
Which, like a monster, ever prowls
To tear apart and destroy
Our every hope, our every joy.
 
If I but knew, as I should know,
The good that from my deeds might grow,
I'd try, by scatt'ring cheer and song
From every path I pass along,
To sow good deeds that will increase
And fill some other life with peace.
