OTHERS
"LORD, HELP HE TO LIVE FROM DAY TO DAY, IN SUCH A SELF FORGETFUL WAY; THAT EVEN WHEN I KNEEL TO PRAY, MY PRAYER SHALL BE FOR OTHERS.
WHEN ALL HY WORK DOWN HERE IS DONE, AND HY NEW WORK IN HEAVEN HAS BEGUN MAY I FORGET THE CROWN I'VE WON, WHILE THINKING STILL OF OTHERS.
OTHERS, LORD YES, OTHERS, LET THIS YOUR MOTTO BE; HELP ME TO LIVE FOR OTHERS, AS I MAY LIVE LIKE THEE."
