THINK TWICE
Before you push a brother down,
Think twice,
Before at another’s sins you frown,
Think twice.
For who are you in judgment hall
Your brother to the bar to call?
Tomorrow you may slip and fall—
Think twice.
Beware the stinging gibe and quip—
Think twice,
Withhold the gossip’s idle sneer,
Think twice.
The Thrust that draws the bitter trap,
For Fortune’s favouring gale may veer—
Think twice.
Is Charity a quickened art?
Think twice,
And does it thrill both hand and heart?
Think twice.
The mercy you to others show,
That mercy you some day shall know:
With other’s faults be kind, be slow—
Think twice.
