Let me be a little kinder,

　　Let me be a little blinder

　　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 meeker¹

　　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.
