The next sin is to cruel any who cannot help themselves.
The Lord give human his word,
To do justice to the afflicted and needy,
To all poor sufferers, human and dumb creatures too,
To be tender and kind to all.
O may our sympathizing hearts,
In generous pleasures know,
Kindly to share in others' joy,
And weep for others' woe.
O Charity, thou heavenly grace,
