Scorn not the slightest word or deed

1

Scorn not the slightest word or deed,Nor deem it void of power;There's fruit in each wind-wafted seedThat waits its natal hour.

2

A whispered word may touch the heart,And call it back to life;A look of love bid sin depart,And still unholy strife.

3

Work on, despair not, bring thy mite,Nor care how small it be;God is with all that serve the right,The holy, true, and free.
