Sacred Songs and Solos Lyrics
Hymn No.801

First Line: Have you had a kindness shown ?,

Have you had a kindness shown ?
Pass it on !
'Twas not given for thee alone :
Pass it on !
Let it travel down the years,
Let it wipe another's tears,
Till in heaven the deed appears —
Pass it on !

2 Did you hear the loving word ?
Pass it on !
Like the singing of a bird ?
Pass it on !
Let its music live and grow,
Let it cheer another's woe ;
You have reaped what others sow —
Pass it on !

3 Twas the sunshine of a smile —
Pass it on !
Staying but a little while !
Pass it on !
April beam, the little thing,
Still it wakes the flowers of spring,
Makes the silent birds to sing —
Pass it on !

4 Have you found the heavenly light ?
Pass it on !
Souls are groping in the night,
Daylight gone;
Hold thy lighted lamp on high,
Be a star in someone's sky ;
He may live who else would die —
Pass it on !

5 Be not selfish in thy greed —
Pass it on !
Look upon thy brother's need —
Pass it on !
Live for self, you live in vain ;
Live for Christ, you live again ;
Live for Him, with Him you reign —
Pass it on !
