Author: Anna W. Simmons Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: Tell it not with heedless scorning Refrain First Line: And the light you lend his pathway Lyrics: 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] Used With Tune: ROCKLAND Text Sources: Song Praises by George B. Holsinger (Elgin, IL: Brethren Publishing House, 1906)

Fred A. Fillmore
1856 - 1925 Person Name: Fred. A. Fillmore Composer of "[Tell it not with heedless scorning]" in Kingdom of Song for the Sunday School Born: May 15, 1856, Paris, Illinois.
Died: November 15, 1925, Terrace Park, Ohio.
Buried: Milford, Ohio.
Frederick Augustus Fillmore, who was born on May 15, 1856, in Paris, IL, one of seven children, five sons and two daughters, born to Augustus Damon and Hannah Lockwood Fillmore. His father was a preacher in the Christian Church, as well as a composer,
songbook compiler, and hymn publisher who developed his own system of musical notation using numbers on the staff in place of note heads. Augustus eventually settled in Cincinnati, OH, and established a music publishing business there. Until 1906, there was no official distinction between "Christian Churches" and "Churches of Christ." The names were used pretty much interchangeably, and many older churches of Christ which are faithful today were once known as "Christian Churches."
Fred and his older brother James took over their father's publishing business following the death of Augustus in 1870 and established the Fillmore Brothers Music House. This became a successful Cincinnati music form, publishing church hymnals and later band and orchestral music. For many years the firm issued a monthly periodical, The Music Messenger. The brothers edited many hymnbooks and produced many songs which became popular. Beginning with the songbook Songs of Glory in 1874, there appeared many Fillmore publications which became widely used through churches, especially in the midwest. For these collections, Fred provided a great deal of hymn tunes.
