Do not let them pass by, saying, "Sometime I'll try," But go and do something today. 'Tis noble of man to work and to give; Love's labor has merit alone. Only he who does something helps others to live. To God each good work will be known. Then wake up and do something more Than dream of your mansion above. Doing good is a pleasure, a joy ...
