Explanation:
This question reminded me of a children's hymn, which I thought you might like to see.

Little drops of water

Little drops of water,
little grains of sand,
make the mighty ocean
and the beauteous land.

And the little moments,
humble though they be,
make the mighty ages
of eternity.

Little deeds of kindness,
little words of love,
make our earth an Eden,
like the heaven above.

So our little errors
lead the soul away,
from the paths of virtue
into sin to stray.

Little seeds of mercy
sown by youthful hands,
grow to bless the nations
far in heathen lands.

Glory then for ever
be to God on high,
beautiful and loving,
to eternity.

Lyric by Julia Carney, 1845

(There is also a children's hymn called "All things bright and beautiful". Was the person who wrote this a priest, or a Sunday school teacher?)
