True, sympathy, kindness and love,
Our actions should ever display;
This is the command from above,
And let us no longer delay:
In others’ delight we should share,
And of their distresses partake,
Should tenderly wipe off the tear,
And do it for Jesus’s sake.
Of this all delightful employ,
Divinest example is given;
Our Jesus came not to destroy,
But to save us and lead us to heaven:
Oh may we regard his command,
And follow his pattern of love,
Thus show by our heart and our hand,
That we all his precepts approve.
