ONE AND ANOTHER
One is searching in the highways
For a budding life to blight,
One is toiling in the byways
For a soul that's lost in night,
Pointing to the distant skyways
Where God's stars are still in sight.
For a budding life to blight,
One is toiling in the byways
For a soul that's lost in night,
Pointing to the distant skyways
Where God's stars are still in sight.
One a country's law is making
On a high and noble plan,
While another one is breaking
All the laws of right he can;
Bold, defying and forsaking
The commands of God and man.
On a high and noble plan,
While another one is breaking
All the laws of right he can;
Bold, defying and forsaking
The commands of God and man.
One in battle wounds his brother,
Leaves him bleeding on the field,
Far from friends and home and mother,
Mercy vainly hath appealed;
Yet with tenderest care another
Binds his wounds till they are healed.
Leaves him bleeding on the field,
Far from friends and home and mother,
Mercy vainly hath appealed;
Yet with tenderest care another
Binds his wounds till they are healed.
