And let us not forget,
However darkly stained by sin,
He is our brother yet.
Heir of the same inheritance,
Child of the self-same God;
He hath but stumbled in the path,
Which we in weakness trod.
Speak gently to him, brother.
Thou yet may'st lead him back,
With holy words, and tones of love,
From mis'ry's thorny track.
Forget not, thou hast often sinn'd,
And sinful yet must be;
Deal gently with the erring one,
as God has dealt with thee.

London Bridge,1867)
