BE GENTLE, KIND AND TRUE.
Be gentle, friends, in word and deed,
For harshness is a hateful sin,
And oft o'erthrows a wealth of good
That gentleness were sure to win.

Be kind to all, however good
There's none that's free from woe and care,
And those who tread forbidden paths
Must still your kindly pity share.

Be true in all that you may say—
With friend and foe alike sincere—
True to yourself in living well,
With faith in God and conscience clear.
