THE POETS CORNER
LET ME WALK WITH
THE MAN in THE ROAD

'Tis only half truth the, poet has sung
or the "house by the side Of the way"
Our Master had neither house a home
But He walked with the crowd day by day
Sand think, when read OF the poets desire,
That house by the road would be good;
But service is found in it's tenderest form
When we walk with the crowd in tho road.
SO say, walk with the in the road,
Let seek the burdens that crush,
Let speak kind word of good cheer to the weak
Who falling behind in the rush.
There wounds to be healed, there breaks
mend
There's cup of cold water to give,
And the in the road by the side OF his friend
the who live.
Then tell Of the house by the road
There is only place live
It's there with the men who toiling along,
Who needing the cheers give
1t is pleasant live in the house by the way
And be a friend the poet has said.
But the Master is bidding "Bear ye their load.
For your rest waiteth yonder ahead"
l could remain in the house by the road
And the toilers 60 on
Their faces beclouded with pain with sin,
So burdened, their strength nearly gone
I'll go their side. I'll speak in good cheer
I'll help them to carry their load
And I'll smile them in the house by the way
AS walk with the crowd In the road.
Out there in the road that goes by the house.
Where the poet is singing his song,
I'll walk and I'll midst the heat OF the day,
And I'll help falling brother along.
Too busy to live in the house by the way,
Too happy for such abode,
And my heart sings its praise to the Master OF all
Who is helping the road
