We need one another when we, mourn and would be comforted by George Odell

June 4, 2024 by charles

from Singing the Living Tradition:

We need one another when we, mourn and would be comforted.

We need one another when we are in trouble and afraid.

We need one another when we are in despair, in temptation, and need to be recalled to our best selves again.

We need one another when we would accomplish some great purpose, and cannot do it alone.

We need one another in the hour of success, when we look for someone to share our triumphs.

We need one another in the hour of defeat, when with encouragement we might endure, and stand again.

We need on another when we come to die, and would have gentle hands prepare us for the journey.

All our lives, we are in need, and others are in need of us.
