“WE WILL LIFT A LITTLE.”

Lift a little! lift a little! Neighbor, lend a helping hand To that heavy-laden brother, Who for weakness scarce can stand. What to thee, with thy strong muscle, Seems a light and easy load, Is to him a ponderous burden, Cumbering his pilgrim road.
Lift a little! lift a little! Effort gives one added strength; That which staggers him when rising, Thou canst hold an arm’s full length. Not his fault that he is feeble, Not thy praise that thou art strong; It is God makes lives to differ, Some for wailing, some for song.
Lift a little! lift a little! Many they who need thine aid; Many lying on the roadside, ’Neath misfortune’s dreary shade, Pass not by like priest and Levite, Heedless of thy fellow man; But with heart and arms extended, Be the Good Samaritan.
