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.”
