GHS 59 : Little Is Much When God Is In It Lyrics
GHS 59, “Little Is Much When God Is In It,” is a hymn of encouragement for believers who feel that their abilities, their place, or their sphere of influence is too small to matter. Written by Kittie L. Suffield, the hymn turns that feeling completely on its head. It does not argue that the place is bigger than it looks; it argues that size is the wrong measure entirely. What makes any work great is not its visibility or scale but whether God is in it. A small and little-known place where God is present is great. A labour unrewarded by men that God acknowledges is enough.
The closing stanza raises the stakes beautifully: faithful service will be met with “Welcome home, my child, well done.” This hymn appears as number 59 in the Gospel Hymns and Songs (GHS) collection, used in Deeper Life Bible Church and related assemblies across West Africa.
Hymn Lyrics – GHS 59: Little Is Much When God Is In It
- In the harvest field now ripened, There’s a work for all to do; Hark! the voice of God is calling, To the harvest calling you.
Little is much, when God is in it! Labour not for wealth or fame; There’s a crown and you can win it, If you’ll go in Jesus’ name.
-
Does the place you’re called to labour Seem so small and little known? It is great if God is in it, And He’ll not forget His own.
-
Are you laid aside from service, Body worn from toil and care? You can still be in the battle In the sacred place of pray’r.
-
When the conflict here is ended And our race on earth is run, He will say, if we are faithful, “Welcome home, my child — well done.”
