Give, said the little stream

1
“Give,” said the little stream,
“Give,” oh, give, give, oh, give,
Give,” said the little stream,
As it hurried down the hill;
“I’m small, I know, but wherever I go,
The fields grow greener still.”
 
Singing, singing all the day,
“Give away, oh, give away,”
Singing, singing all the day,
“Give, oh, give away.”
2
“Give,” said the little rain,
“Give, oh, give, give, oh, give,
Give,” said the little rain
As it fell upon the flowers.
“I’ll raise their drooping heads again,”
As it fell upon the flowers.
3
“Give,” then, what you can give,
“Give, oh, give, give, oh, give,
Give,” then, what you can give,
There is something all can give.
Do as the streams and blossoms do,
And for other people live.

Interesting that the words have been changed and there is no mention of Jesus in the third verse.

Not great.

I'm so glad to have found this song. I learned it as a child and wanted very much to be able to pass it on to my granddaughter. Thanks for having it out here.

My daughters both enjoy this song so much. They bounce along and sing and it softens my heart watching them. Oh, Lord, continue to soften our hearts!
