  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,
    Give, oh, give; give, oh, give—
    I’m small, I know, but wherever I go,
    The fields grow greener still.”
    • Refrain:
      Singing, singing on your way,
      “Give away, give away”;
      Singing, singing on your way,
      “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 flow’rs.
    “I’ll raise the drooping heads again,
    Give, oh, give; give, oh, give—
    I’ll raise the drooping heads again
    With refreshing summer show’rs.”
  3. “Give,” said the violet sweet,
    “Give, oh, give; give, oh, give.”
    “Give,” said the violet sweet,
    In its gentle, spring-like voice.
    “From cot and hall they will hear my call,
    Give, oh, give; give, oh, give—
    From cot and hall they will hear my call,
    They will find me and rejoice.”
  4. “Give,” said the Savior dear,
    “Give, oh, give; give, oh, give.”
    “Give,” said the Savior dear;
    “For your blessings come from heav’n.”
    More joy is ours as our gifts we share,
    Give, oh, give; give, oh, give—
    More joy is ours as our gifts we share,
    And give as God has giv’n.
