A little bit of heaven
Comes earthward every day,
And you will sense its presence
When it comes along your way,
If your thoughts are pure and wholesome
And your heart is full of love,
And you're glad that you are living,
And that there's a God above.

A little bit of heaven
Can be seen the whole day through
From early dawn till nightfall
In the kind acts that we do.
Just an impulse put in action
To do something for man's good,
Adds another stone so noble
To the shrine of brotherhood.

A little bit of heaven
Comes to us in song of bird,
In the babbling brook's sweet music,
Or a kindly, spoken word,
In a friendly smile or handclasp;
Oh, how wonderful to know
That a little bit of heaven
Is sent to earth below!
