A
The kind of a man for you and meB
He faces the world unflinchinglyC
And smites as long as the wrong resistsD
With a knuckled faith and force like fistsD
He lives the life he is preaching ofE
And loves where most is the need of loveE
His voice is clear to the deaf man's earsF
And his face sublime through the blind man's tearsG
The light shines out where the clouds were dimH
And the widow's prayer goes up for himH
The latch is clicked at the hovel doorI
And the sick man sees the sun once moreI
And out o'er the barren fields he seesJ
Springing blossoms and waving treesJ
Feeling as only the dying mayK
That God's own servant has come that wayK
Smoothing the path as it still winds onL
Through the golden gate where his loved have goneM

-
The kind of a man for me and youN
However little of worth we doN
He credits full and abides in trustO
That time will teach us how more is justO
He walks abroad and he meets all kindsP
Of querulous and uneasy mindsP
And sympathizing he shares the painQ
Of the doubts that rack us heart and brainQ
And knowing this as we grasp his handR
We are surely coming to understandR
He looks on sin with pitying eyesS
E'en as the Lord since ParadiseT
Else should we read Though our sins should glowC
As scarlet they shall be white as snowC
And feeling still with a grief half gladU
That the bad are as good as the good are badU
He strikes straight out for the Right and heB
Is the kind of a man for you and meB
