WHAT CAN A LITTLE CHAP DO?
Reading edition
BY JOHN OXENHAM Painting by EUGENE HASTAIN and Drawings by GORDON BROWNE, R.I.
What can a little chap do For his country and for you? What can a little chap do? He can fight like a Knight For the Truth and the Right— That's one good thing he can do.
He can shun all that's mean, He can keep himself clean, Both without and within— That's another good thing he can do. His soul he can brace Against everything base, And the trace will be seen All his life in his face— That's a very fine thing he can do. He can look to the Light, He can keep his thought white, He can fight the great fight, He can do with his might What is good in God's sight— Those are excellent things he can do.
Though his years be but few, He can march in the queue Of the Good and the Great, Who battled with fate And won through— That's a wonderful thing he can do. And—in each little thing He can follow The King. Yes—in each smallest thing He can follow The King— He can follow The Christ, The King.
