Gracious Are They Who Give From the Heart

Gracious are they who give from the heart
Who charity, hope, and love do impart
Jesus once said Ye have done this for me
Whenever ye do it for all that you see

Might we extend His love to someone
That he who is hungry might feel nourished
Might we extend His hope to someone
To show compassion that they might feel cherished

Like unto a boy who gave up his pillow
To comfort a man who sleeps on the street
For naught is forgotten, not even a sparrow
And Christ's light is inside all whom we meet


Thomas S. Monson,
“A Doorway Called Love,”
Ensign, Nov 1987, 66
