Author: Mrs. Geo. D. Elderkin Hymnal: The Finest of the Wheat #161 (1890) First Line: O my brother, are you basking Lyrics: 1 O my brother, are you basking
In the light of Jesus’ love?
Have you reached the land of Beulah,
Do you dwell on heights above?
Refrain:
Then help your brother in the valley,
Weak and weary he may be;
By and by the Lord will tell us,
“Ye have done it unto me.”
2 Know you not that many others,
Lower down are striving still?
Reach a hand to your poor brother;
Help him climb the rugged hill. [Refrain]
3 Do not spend your life in singing,
There is work for ev’ry day;
All the struggling ones be bringing
Higher up the narrow way. [Refrain]
4 On the mountain top of glory,
We would fain forever dwell;
But there’s work for Jesus waiting,
Waiting farther down the hill. [Refrain] Scripture: Matthew 25:40 Tune Title: [O my brother, are you basking]
Help your brother
