The Golden Rule

In your daily round of duties,
As you make your way through life;
As you gaze upon its beauties,
And you look upon its strife,
There's a rule of conduct given,
Which I will commend to you:
Always do unto another
What you'd have him do to you.

If, perchance, along life's highways,
You should meet a man that's down,
Or you meet him on the byways,
Where he meets with many a frown,
Won't you try to help him, brother,
'Ere he passes from your view?
Won't you do unto another
What you'd have him do to you?

Once upon a time the Saviour
Came into this world of sin,
Came into this world to suffer,
Precious souls that He might win.
And He gave to us a precept
Did this Saviour, kind and true:
Always do unto another
What you'd have him do to you.
