Daughters Of Pity, Tune The Lay

Author: William Hampson Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #12638 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Daughters of pity, tune the lay; To mourners joy belongs; While He that wipes all tears away Accepts our thankful songs. 2 No altars smoke, no offerings bleed, No guiltless lives expire; To help a brother in his need Is all our rites require. 3 Our offering is a willing mind To comfort the distressed; In others’ good our own to find, In others’ blessing blest. 4 Go to the pillow of disease, Where night gives no repose, And on the cheek where sickness preys, Bid health to plant a rose. 5 Go where the friendless stranger lies; To perish is his doom: Snatch from the grave his closing eyes, And bring his blessing home. 6 Thus, what our heav’nly Father gave, Shall we as freely give; Thus copy Him who lived to save, And died that we might live.

Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #347 (1814) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Daughters of pity, tune the lay; To mourners joy belongs; While he, that wipes all tears away, Accepts our thankful songs. 2 No altars smoke, no off'rings bleed, No guiltless lives expire; To help a brother in his need, Is all our rites require. 3 Our off'ring is a willing mind To comfort the distrust; In others' good our own we find, In others' blessing blest. 4 Go to the pillow of disease, Where night gives no repose, And on the cheek, where sickness preys, Bid health to plant a rose. 5 Go where the friendless stranger lies; To perish is his doom: Snatch from the grave his closing eyes, And bring his blessing home. 6 Thus, what our heav'nly Father gave, Shall we as freely give; Thus copy him, who liv'd to save, And died that we might live.
