To the faults of those about me, 　　

Let me praise a little more. 　　

Let me be, when I am weary, 　　

Just a little bit more cheery; 　　

Let me be a little meeker 　　

With the brother who is weaker; 　　

Let me strive a little harder 　　

To be all that I should be. 　　

Let me be more understanding 　　

And a little less demanding, 　　

Let me be the sort of friend 　　

That you have always been to me.
