Never Lose the Golden Rule

lyricist: Fanny Crosby, 1870
Composer: John Adcock

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.

Never lose the gold­en rule

Keep it still in view;

Do to oth­ers as you would

They should do to you.

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.

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.
