Tell me, pray, who is my neigh­bor?
Is it one who dwell­eth nigh?
Those who need thy help are neigh­bors,
If their need thou canst sup­ply.

Refrain

Tell me, pray, who is my neigh­bor?
Show me what my hands can do?
God will show thee, He will help thee;
To thy ho­ly trust be true.

Tell me, then, my Heav’n-sent du­ty
To my neigh­bor far and near.
As thy­self thou still shalt love him;
Hark, the word rings loud and clear!

Refrain

Bind the chain of love about them,
Love that from no ser­vice shrinks;
This alone will reach and hold them,
Chain of love, with gold­en links.

Refrain

By the grace of God I pro­mise
Now to learn of those in need;
I will love and live to serve them,
For my neigh­bors dai­ly plead.

Refrain

I will go where Je­sus leads me,
I will do what He com­mands,
Send afar the bless­èd tid­ings,
To these dist­ant, dark­ened lands.
