What a song
Could my little sacrifice bring?
An enduring joy's laughter
To a soul that is bitter!
Not a great expanse of ocean
Nor the tallest mountain
Could make flow a ceaseless fountain.
But a little grain of love
Could prolong the days
A little grain of love
Could make the weak, stronger
Drain tears,
And rekindle hope.
If we may love
We couldn’t have had selfish flaws.
If only we can give
A mustard grain of love
To these ones.
Hopeful trees of preservation
Will arise!
A little grain of love
Will prolong their days farther
Make the days of sorrow shorter
Secure the joy of yester years
And harvest the blessing of the coming years
