Let true sympathy and love
Through our varied actions flow,
May our hearts with pity move,
When we hear a brother’s woe:
‘Tis the Lord’s commandment still,
We this duty should fulfil.
Other’s joys should we partake,
Kindly share in their distress,
This should do for Jesus’ sake,
And our actions he will bless:
May our hearts more tender prove,
Grow in sympathy and love.
Jesus, lover of mankind,
Thou our guide and rule shalt be,
We in thine example find
Boundless love and sympathy:
While we thy compassion share,
Let us more thine image bear.
