Who Is My Neighbor?

Tell me

pray

who is my neigh­bor?

Is it one who dwell­eth nigh?

Those who need thy help are neigh­bors

If their need thou canst sup­ply.

Tell me

pray

who is my neigh­bor?

Show me what my hands can do?

God will show thee

He will help thee;

To thy ho­ly trust be true.

Tell me

then

my Heav’n-sent du­ty

To my neigh­bor far and near.

As thy­self thou still shalt love him;

Hark

the word rings loud and clear!

Bind the chain of love ab­out them

Love that from no serv­ice shrinks;

This alone will reach and hold them

Chain of love

with gold­en links.

By the grace of God I pro­mise

Now to learn of those in need;

I will love and live to serve them

For my neigh­bors dai­ly plead.

I will go where Je­sus leads me

I will do what He com­mands

Send afar the bless­èd tid­ings

To these dist­ant

dark­ened lands.
