Representative Text

1 Be kind to each other;
The night's coming on,
When friend and when brother
Perchance may be gone;
Then, 'midst our dejection,
How sweet to have earn'd
The blest recollection
Of kindness return'd!

Chorus:
Happy children, blessed children,
Who are loving one another truly;
And the Saviour, blessed Saviour,
Loving more than all beside.

2 When day hath departed,
And memory keeps
Her watch, broken-hearted,
Where all the loved sleep.
Let falsehood assail not,
Nor envy disprove,
Let trifles prevail not
'Gainst those whom you love. [Chorus]

3 Nor change with to-morrow,
Should fortune take wing:
The deeper the sorrow,
The closer still cling!
Be kind to each other:
The night's coming on,
When friend and when brother
Perchance may be gone. [Chorus]
