I Shall Not Live In Vain Lyrics


If I can stop one heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain.
If I can ease one life the aching,
Or cool one pain,
Or help one fainting robin
Unto his nest again -
I shall not live in vain.*
I shall not live in vain.
Love seeketh not
Itself to please,
Nor for itself hath any care;
But for another gives its ease,
And builds a Heaven in Hell's despair**
If I can stop one heart from breaking
I shall not live in vain
If I can ease one life the aching

Or cool one pain
Or help one fainting robin
Unto his nest again
I shall not live in vain
I shall not live in vain
---
