Send a hand to one another In the daily toil of life: When we meet a weaker brother, Let us help him in the strife. There is none so rich but may, In his turn, be forced to borrow : And the poor man's lot to day May become our own to morrow.

2. Find a hand to one anothers,
When malicious tongues have threwn
Dark suspicion on your brother,
Penot prompt to east a stone.
Bend
There is none so good but may
Qun adrift in shame and sorrow,
And the good man of to day
May become the bad to-morrow:

Ryn

3. Lind a hand to one another :
In the race for Konor'sserown,
Should it fall upon your brother,
Let not envy tear it down.
Send a hand to all, we pray.
In their sunshine or their sorrow ;
And the prize they've won to day
May become our own to monow:
