Be kind to thy father; for when thou wast young

Hymnal: The New Sabbath School Hosanna #82 (1870) Lyrics: 1 Be kind to thy father; for when thou wast young, Who loved thee so fondly as he? He caught the first accents which fell from thy tongue, And join'd in thy innocent glee. Be kind to thy father, for now he is old, His looks intermingled with gray; His footsteps are feeble,--once fearless and bold, Thy father is passing away; Thy father is passing away. 2 Be kind to thy mother; for, lo! on her brow May traces of sorrow be seen; Oh, well mayst thou cherish and comfort her now, For loving and kind she hath been. Remember thy mother; for thee will she pray As long as God giveth her breath; With accents of kindness, then, cheer her lone way, E'en to the dark valley of death. 3 Be kind to thy brother: his heart will have dearth If the smile of thy joy be withdrawn; The flowers of feeling will fade at the birth If love and affection be gone. Be kind to thy brother, wherever you are; The love of a brother shall be An ornament purer and richer by far Than pearls from the depth of the sea. 4 Be kind to thy sister; not many may know The depth of true sisterly love; The wealth of the ocean lies fathoms below The surface that sparkles above. Thy kindness shall bring in thee many sweet hours, And blessings thy pathway shall crown, Affection shall weave thee a garland of flowers More precious than wealth or renown. Tune Title: BE KIND TO THY FATHER

Be kind to loved ones

Hymnal: Linden Harp #98 (1855) First Line: Be kind to thy father, for when thou wert young Lyrics: 1 Be kind to thy father, for when thou wert young Who loved thee so fondly as he? He caught the first accents which fell from thy tongue, And join'd in thy innocent glee. Be kind to thy mother, for lo! on her brow, May traces of sorrow be seen! O well mayst thou cherish and comfort her now, for loving and kind hath she been. 2 Be kind to thy brother,--his heart will have dearth If the smile of thy love be withdrawn; The flowers of feeling will fade at their birth If the dew of affection be gone, Be kind to thy sister, not many may know The depth of true sisterly love, The wealth of the ocean lies fathoms below The surface that sparkles above. 3 Be kind to thy teacher, the burden she bears Is wearing her spirits away. No price for her labors so precious appears As the kindness she meets day by day. Be kind to thy schoolmates, not long canst thou be With schoolmates to study, or play; Thy kindness will make thee more happy and free When school-pleasures vanish away.
