  If thou the lives of men wouldst bless, Live thine own life in faithfulness; Thine own hard task, if made complete, Shall render others’ toil more sweet; Thy grief, if bravely thou endure, Shall give men’s sorrow solace sure; Thy peril, if met undismayed, Shall make the fearful less afraid. Each step in right paths firmly trod Shall break some thorn or crush some clod, Making the way more smooth and free For him who treads it after thee. |
