Lend a Hand

Lend a hand! lend a hand!

In the work for the world!

Place these words in your ban­ner

Ne’er let it be furled

While sin

pain and sad­ness

Hold sway in the world

Lend a hand! lend a hand!

In the work for the world!

Lend a hand! Lend a hand!

Lend a hand in the work for the world!

Lend a hand! Lend a hand!

Lend a hand in the work for the world!

There are eyes that are weep­ing

Where none wipe the tear;

There are hearts that are break­ing

For tidings of cheer;

There are sin­ners would turn

From their sins were you near

Lend a hand! lend a hand!

In the work for the world!

There are lips that are burn­ing

Where none hold the cup;

There are child­ren who starve

For a bit and a sup;

There are forms that are sink­ing

Sour hand might hold up

Lend a hand! lend a hand

In the work for the world!

Lend a hand! lend a hand!

There is com­ing a day

When He who shall weigh us

To each one will say

Didst thou help ev­ery bro­ther

Thou couldst in the way?

Lend a hand! lend a hand!

In the work for the world!
