The Things I Do

1. I’m much too young to go abroad

To teach and preach the word of God,

But I can show I know it’s true,

Quite simply, by the things I do.

2. The people in my neighborhood

Will judge the gospel bad or good

By how I act at work and play,

And not just on the Sabbath day.

3. I’ll take my friends to church with me,

Where I will act with dignity.

My rev’rence and my happy face

Will tell them it’s a sacred place.

4. In ev’rything I do they’ll see

I am what I profess to be.

Then when the elders find their door,

They’ll say, “Come in and tell us more.”
