The Whole World

When one child in the whole world is happy,
            the whole world is joyful.
When one artist’s song or painting in the world is beautiful,
            the world itself is attractive.
If one laborer in the world enjoys a single day of leisure,
            the entire world is at ease.
If one young person in the whole world is in love
            the world itself is lovely.
When one marriage in the world is celebrated,
            the whole world is festive.
If one person in the world tries to be holy,
            the risen Jesus offers the whole world salvation.
Should one Christian in the whole world devoutly pray,
            the world entire kneels before God.
