If I can help somebody as I pass along;
If I can cheer somebody with a word or song;
If I can show somebody how they’re travelling wrong;
Then my living shall not be in vain.
Then my living shall not be in vain;
Then my living shall not be in vain;
If I can spread God’s message that the Master taught;
Then my living shall not be in vain.
If I can do my duty as a Christian ought;
If I can bring back beauty to a world up wrought;
If I can spread love’s message that the Master taught;
Then my living shall not be in vain.
Then my living shall not be in vain;
Then my living shall not be in vain;
If I can spread God’s message that the Master taught;
Then my living shall not be in vain.
