Teach us, O Lord, true brotherhood

Verse 1

Teach us, O Lord, true brotherhood In daily thought and deed, That we may tread with humble heart The path where Thou dost lead.

Verse 2

Help us to spurn a life of ease, While brothers labour long In mill and mart to give us bread, And labour without song.

Verse 3

Cast from our hearts, O Lord of life, Our selfishness and pride, Help us to choose the toiler's part, And suffer by his side.

Verse 4

Give us the courage, Lord, to fight With Thee all greed of gold, To fight until Thy kingdom's won, Thy kingdom long foretold.

Verse 5

Love then shall reign supreme o'er all, O'er heart and mind and hand, Eternal love and brotherhood In all this storm-tossed land.

Verse 6

With vision clear and steadfast heart So let us follow Thee, E'en though it be that weary road Which leads to Calvary!
