The Golden Rule

Fanny J. Crosby • English

Primary Scripture: Luke 6:31

Verse 1

Never lose the golden rule, Keep it still in view; Do to others as you would They should do to you. Kindly, gently, In their burden bear a part, Meekly chiding With a loving heart.

Chorus

Never lose the golden rule, Keep it still in view; Do to others as you would They should do to you.

Verse 2

Help the feeble ones along, Cheer the faint and weak; To the sorrow-laden heart Words of comfort speak. Freely, freely, From the bounty of your store, Cheerful givers, Help the humbler poor.

Chorus

Never lose the golden rule, Keep it still in view; Do to others as you would They should do to you.

Verse 3

Love the Lord, the first command, With thy soul and mind; Love thy neighbor as thyself, Both in one combined. Justly, justly, With each other strive to live, Ever ready, Willing to forgive.

Chorus

Never lose the golden rule, Keep it still in view; Do to others as you would They should do to you.
