1 Tell it not with heedless scorning If your neighbor does a wrong; Go to him with yearning sorrow, Breathe it not amid the throng.
Refrain: And the light you lend his pathway May come back to bless your own; For we know, beyond all doubting, We shall reap as we have sown.
2 You may aid him by your counsel, Give him strength to nobler do; Help him as you’d help another Come in kindness unto you. [Refrain]
3 If his way is dark with trial, If there’s blight you never knew, Let the manly heart within you Prompt to something brave and true. [Refrain]
4 Stand beside him while the shadow Shifts him from his olden place; Shield him from the wily tempter That has brought the deep disgrace. [Refrain]Source: The Cyber Hymnal #15117
