Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 No matter if you live now far or near,
no matter what your weakness or your strength,
there is not one alive we count outside.
May deeper joy for all now come at length,
may deeper joy for all now come at length.
2 Let none among us lie or self-deceive;
nor cultivate a hatred all or part,
may never one of us live by our rage
nor wish another injury of heart,
nor wish another injury of heart.
3 Just as the goodly mother will protect
her children, e’en at risk of her own life,
so may we nurture an old mindfulness,
a boundless heart beyond all fear and strife,
a boundless heart beyond all fear and strife. Topics: Wisdom from the World's Religions Words from Sacred Traditions; Acceptance of One Another; Buddhism; Goodness; Integrity; Parents Used With Tune: INDIA Text Sources: Sutta Nopata
