WHO IS THY NEIGHBOR?

Thy neighbor! It is he whom thou Hast power to aid and bless— Whose aching heart or burning brow Thy soothing hand may press.
Thy neighbor! ’tis the fainting poor, Whose eye with want is dim; Whom hunger sends from door to door— Go thou and succor him.
Thy neighbor! ’tis that weary man Whose years are at their brim; But low with sickness, cares, and pain— Go, thou, and comfort him.
Thy neighbor! ’tis the heart bereft Of every earthly gem; Widow and orphan helpless left— Go, thou, and shelter them.
Where’er thou meet’st a human form Less favored than thine own, Remember ’tis thy neighbor worm, Thy brother, or thy son.
Oh! pass not, pass not heedless by; Perhaps thou canst redeem The breaking heart from misery— Go, share thy lot with him.
