Who Is Thy Neighbor

Verse 1

Who is thy neighbor? he whom thou Hast power to aid or bless; Whose aching heart or burning brow Thy soothing hand may press.

Verse 2

Thy neighbor? 'tis the fainting poor, Whose eye with want is dim; Oh, enter thou his humble door, With aid and peace for him.

Verse 3

Thy neighbor? he who drinks the cup When sorrow drowns the brim; With words of high, sustaining hope, Go, thou, and comfort him.

Verse 4

Thy neighbor? 'tis the weary slave, Fettered in mind and limb; He hath no hope this side the grave; Go, thou, and ransom him.

Verse 5

Thy neighbor? pass no mourner by; Perhaps thou canst redeem A breaking heart from misery; Go, share thy lot with him.
