BE PITIFUL.

BEWARE of harshness; for the Lord Is judge, and you but clay. Be pitiful, be pitiful, In all you do and say.
Remember this: you also have A weakness, and ere long The test will come to you, and then Will you be brave and strong?
Perchance your feet may slip, perchance Your lamp of faith grow dim. Ah, then you'll need a helping hand To lead you back to Him!
Excuse not sin, but kindly seek With tender words to show The erring one his fault, and thus To lead his heart from woe.
And then, when fiery trials come, Upon your bended knee, With confidence look up and pray, “Show pity, Lord, to me.”
