He went about to teach, and prove

The lofty work of doing good.

Said he, to those who with him trod,

"Would ye be my disciples? Then

Evince your ardent love for God

By the kind deeds ye do for men."

3He went where frenzy held its rule,

Where sickness breathed its spell of pain;

By famed Bethesda's mystic pool;

And by the darkened gate of Nain.
