Blest is the man whose spirit shares
A suffering brother’s wants and cares:
The Lord will visit him in grief,
And bring his trials sweet relief.
The sinner’s Friend delights to see
His people kind and good as He;
And bids them each with each unite,
To make their common burden light.
That burden well the Saviour knows,
He bore on earth our sins and woes;
By friends betrayed, by foes assailed;
Yet love divine o’er all prevailed.
That love divine, o’er still let us share,
Still lead us on through foe and snare,
Till we thy face unclouded see,
And rise from earth to heaven and thee.
