If you hear
a
song that thrills you,
Sung by any child of song,
Praise it. Do not let the singer
Wait deserved praises long.
Why should one who thrills your heart
Lack the joy you may impart?
If you hear
a
prayer that moves you
By its humble, pleading tone,
Join it. Do not Jet the seeker
Bow before his God alone.
Why should not your brother share
The strength of "two or three" in prayer?
If you see the hot tears falling
from
a
brother's weeping eyes,
Share them. And by kindly sharing
Own our kinship in the skies.
Why should anyone be glad
When
a
brother's heart is sad?
If
a
silvery laugh goes rippling
Through the sunshine on his face,
Share it. Tis the wise man's saying
-–
For both grief and joy
a
place.
There's health and goodness in the mirth
In which an honest laugh has birth.
If your work is made more easy
By
a
friendly, helping hand,
Say so. Speak out brave and truly
Ere the darkness veil the land.
