54. Love and Help Each Other

1 We should love and help each other,
Day by day, day by day,
We should raise the fallen brother
On the way, on the way,
For the road is rough at best,
As we count each weary mile,
Let us cheer the fainting breast
With a tender word and smile.

Refrain:
We should love and help each other,
Day by day, day by day.
We should raise the fallen brother,
On the way, on the way.

2 Let us go in scenes of sorrow,
Undismayed, undismayed,
Trouble's hand on us tomorrow
May be laid, may be laid,
Let us help while now we can,
Ev'ry burden to relieve;
As we bless our fellow man
So a blessing we'll receive. [Refrain]

3 How the hand of love can lighten
All our woe, all our woe,
How the gleam of hope can brighten
All below, all below,
Let us do the kindly deed,
Let us speak the loving word;
They will spring the precious seed
In the garden of the Lord. [Refrain]
