Lend me a hand, oh brother mine
God Almighty will bless you much
And when I stand tall after all
I’ll recall the help you gave to me
God Almighty will bless you much
For helping me out of the pit
Of self-pity and dire despair
And when I stand tall after all
Fraught with strength and full of hope
Crowned with wisdom, blessed with wealth
I’ll recall the help you gave to me
And lend both hands to those in need
But now I’m he who needs a hand
