If We Only Understood.

If we knew the cares and trials,
Knew tn? efforts all in vain,
And the bitter disappointment,
Understood the loss and gain
Would the grim eternal roughness
Seem wonder-just the same?
Should we help where now we hinder?
Should we pity where we blame9
All we judge each other harshly,
Knowing not lifes hidden force
Knowing not the fount of action
Is less turbid at its source;
Seeing not amid the evil
All the golden grains of good;
And we'd love each other better
If we only understood
Could we Judge all deeds BY motives
That surround each other s lives.
See the naked heart and spirit,
Know what spur the action gives,
Often we would find it better,
Purer than we Judge we should
We should love each other better
If we only understood.
Could we judge all deeds by motives.
See the good and bad within,
Often we should love the sinner
All the while we loathe the sin;
Could we know the powers working
! To 0 'erthrow integrity.
We should judge each others errors
More with patient charity.
