148. Help the One Next to You

1 Help the one next to you, hold out your hand,
Help him the forces of sin to withstand;
Comfort and cheer him whatever befall,
Lead him to Jesus, the best Friend of all.

Refrain:
Help the one next to you, Help him today!
Help him with heart and hand;
The good work will grow,
And the seed that you sow,
Will ripen in ev’ry land.

2 Help the one next to you, passing along,
Give the glad message, or lift up a song,
Say a kind word that comes warm from the heart,
He needs a blessing that you can impart. [Refrain]

3 Help the one next to you, only begin,
New fields of effort you’ll certainly win;
Wider and wider, the circle will grow,
Onward and onward, your influence flow. [Refrain]
