An upbeat, original hymn with text by Kathryn Hales below.  Watch on YouTube: May I Make The World a Better Place, hymn

May I make the world a better place,

Greet each one I meet with smiling face,

Add beauty to each spot I go,

Gratitude for thy creations I will show.

May I make my sphere a cleaner space,

Reflecting the cleansing of Thy atoning grace,

May I serve others who are in need of care,

That in Thy name, help others’ burdens share.

Though my time on earth may not be long,

Let me lead a soul from ways of sin or wrong,

May my footprints be firm in zeal and might,

Helping others always choose the path of right.

May I fill this world with music and joyful song,

May my words be truthful, sure, and strong,

I’ll strive to make the world a better place,

Till one day I’ll see Thy smiling face.
