Help Your Brother

Verse 1

O my brother, are you basking In the light of Jesus’ love? Have you reached the land of Beulah, Do you dwell on heights above?

Chorus

Then help your brother in the valley, Weak and weary he may be; By and by the Lord will tell us, “Ye have done it unto me.”

Verse 2

Know you not that many others, Lower down are striving still? Reach a hand to your poor brother; Help him climb the rugged hill.

Chorus

Then help your brother in the valley, Weak and weary he may be; By and by the Lord will tell us, “Ye have done it unto me.”

Verse 3

Do not spend your life in singing, There is work for ev’ry day; All the struggling ones be bringing Higher up the narrow way.

Chorus

Then help your brother in the valley, Weak and weary he may be; By and by the Lord will tell us, “Ye have done it unto me.”

Verse 4

On the mountain top of glory, We would fain forever dwell; But there’s work for Jesus waiting, Waiting farther down the hill.

Chorus

Then help your brother in the valley, Weak and weary he may be; By and by the Lord will tell us, “Ye have done it unto me.”
