Little by little the time goes by—

Short if you sing through it, long if you sigh.

Little by little—an hour, a day,

Gone with the years that have vanished away;

Little by little the race is run,

Trouble and waiting and toil are done!

Little by little the skies grow clear;

Little by little the sun comes near;

Little by little the days smile out

Gladder and brighter on pain and doubt;

Little by little the seed we sow

Into a beautiful yield will grow.

Little by little the world grows strong,

Fighting the battle of Right and Wrong:

Little by little the Wrong gives way,

Little by little the Right has sway;

Little by little all longing souls

Struggle up nearer the shining goals!

Little by little the good in men

Blossoms to beauty for human ken;

Little by little the angels see

Prophecies better of good to be;

Little by little the God of all

Lifts the world nearer the pleading call.
