1 Blessed Redeemer how divine, How righteous is this rule of thine, "To do to all men just the same "As we expect or wish from them."
2 This golden lesson, short and plain, Gives not the mind nor memory pain; And every conscience must approve This universal law of love.
3 How blest would every nation be, Thus rul'd by love and equity! All would be friends without a foe, And form a paradise below.
4 Jesus, forgive us, that we keep Thy sacred law of love asleep, No more let envy, wrath, and pride, But thy blest maxims be our guide.
