RAISE THE CURTAIN

RAISE THE CURTAIN
Raise the curtains LEI the brightness
OF your cheerful light shine forth;
To the passer in the darkness
1t may be OF vital worth;
Give glimpse to lonely wanderers
OF your household full Of JOY,
II may rouse to new ambition
some poor, friendless. tempted boy.
Raise the curtain-we are Kindred
Each to all Is bound by ties
Which forbid selfish shutting
OF ourselves from others eyes;
Share your light and share your blessings,
God hath made the whole world kin,
And his love, so universal.
Takes the weakest sinner In.
Raise the curtain Of your window,
Raise the curtain of your mind;
Do not let possession make you
To the wants of others blind.
Helping others. we are strengthened;
Giving, We are richer made;
And no one so strong or patient
But some time hath need of aid.
