                                          Compassionate Souls

                         Let there be no dearth of compassionate souls
                         To serve as instruments of the Supreme Lord.

                          Would He spread His mercy to mankind as a whole,
                             Bring relief to those in need as their goal,

                         Allay the yoke of those who live but on the dole
                                And a decent meal a day cannot afford;

                            Let there be no dearth of compassionate souls
                             To serve as instruments of the Supreme Lord.
