Verse 1

O Jesus, Master, when today, I meet, along the crowded way, My burdened brothers mine and Thine May then through me Thy Spirit shine.

Verse 2

To cheer them in their onward way, Till evening ends the varied day, To kindle so a growing light, Where else might be but gloom and night.

Verse 3

Grant, too, that they my need may know, As side by side we onward go— An equal need of kindly thought, And love like that which Thou hast taught.

Verse 4

Then give our hands a touch divine, And to our voices tones like Thine, As side by side we onward go, Nor need each other’s name to know.
