Lend a hand! lend a hand! in the work for the world!
Place these words in your banner, ne’er let it be furled
While sin, pain and sadness hold sway in the world,
Lend a hand! lend a hand! in the work for the world!
Lend a hand! Lend a hand!
Lend a hand in the work for the world!
Lend a hand! Lend a hand!
Lend a hand in the work for the world!
There are eyes that are weeping where none wipe the tear;
There are hearts that are breaking for tidings of cheer;
There are sinners would turn from their sins were you near,
Lend a hand! lend a hand! in the work for the world!
Lend a hand! Lend a hand!
Lend a hand in the work for the world!
Lend a hand! Lend a hand!
Lend a hand in the work for the world!
There are lips that are burning where none hold the cup;
There are children who starve for a bit and a sup;
There are forms that are sinking, your hand might hold up,
Lend a hand! lend a hand! in the work for the world!
Lend a hand! Lend a hand!
Lend a hand in the work for the world!
Lend a hand! Lend a hand!
Lend a hand in the work for the world!
Lend a hand! lend a hand! there is coming a day
When He who shall weigh us, to each one will say,
“Didst thou help every brother thou couldst in the way?”
Lend a hand! lend a hand! in the work for the world!
Lend a hand! Lend a hand!
Lend a hand in the work for the world!
Lend a hand! Lend a hand!
Lend a hand in the work for the world!
