Help brother on his way,
Give q lifting hand today,
Say the kindly word Of cheer,
Help to dry the mourner's tear,
When you've done kindness real,
SEQ yourself how good you feel.
Do you meet fellow down,
Do not greet him with q frown;
Do not turn away in scOrn,
Grip his hand and say -'Good mornn
Try his little wounds to heal,
SEQ yourself how good you feel.

Earth can ne'er bestow such bliss,
Help another on his way,
Have . cheerful word to say.
Then when evening shadows steal,
See yourself how good you feel.
