Wake at blaze of morning grandeur,

Kneel in prayer to God each day.

Rise to read and ponder scripture,

Guiding you along your way.

CHORUS

It's the small and simple things that matter.

They will lead to greater things above.

It's the hand that reaches out to serve and bless

That reveals to men the God of love.

Heed the promptings of the Spirit,

Seek for revelation's sway.

Act when good deeds come before you,

Finding joy in every day.

CHORUS

When each blessed day is over,

Kneel to thank the Lord each night,

Counting every simple blessing

Ere you drift in dreamy flight.

CHORUS

Small and simple leads to greatness,

Thus the weak will be made strong.

Humbling all the pride of nations,

They shall model right from wrong.

CHORUS (SLIGHTLY ALTERED FOR 4th VERSE)

It's the small and simple things that matter.

They will lead to greater things above.

It's the hands all reaching out to serve and bless
