By Patience Strong / AKA – Winifred Emma May

We depend upon each other, each one in his own small way –

giving something of himself in terms of service day by day –

working for his own reward yet adding to the common good.

Half our troubles would be ended if this truth were understood.

We are bound by unseen cords and

Everything we say and do – tends to help or harm another.

Let us try then to pursue –

nothing that would cause division, hate, unrest or jealousy.

Put no strain upon the ties of fellowship and unity.

All our lives are interwoven. On each other we rely.

Brain and brawn must work together, letting ancient grudges die.

At the desk and at the plough, in mine and mill and factory.

All are needed in the drive for peace and for prosperity.
