lyrics

Be generous in prosperity
And thankful in adversity
Be generous in prosperity
Be a joy to the sorrowful

[chorus] Be a treasure to the poor
An upholder and defender of
The victim of oppression
Be a joy to the sorrowful
(x2)

Be as a lamp
Unto them that walk in darkness
Be a home for the stranger
Be a joy to the sorrowful

[repeat chorus] (x2)

Be unjust to no man
Show all meekness to all men
Be unjust to no man
Be a joy to the sorrowful

[repeat chorus]
