A Psalm of the Helpers

By Henry van Dyke

He that turneth from the road to rescue another, Turneth toward his goal: He shall arrive in due time by the footpath of mercy, God will be his guide.
He that taketh up the burden of the fainting, Lighteneth his own load: The Almighty will put his arms underneath him, He shall lean upon the Lord.
He that speaketh comfortable words to mourners, Healeth his own heart: In his time of grief they will return to remembrance, God will use them for balm.
He that careth for the sick and wounded, Watcheth not alone: There are three in the darkness together, And the third is the Lord.
— Henry van Dyke.
