the mission of the children's chain.
To cheer the suffering, aid the weak,
To feel for others in distress;
And all the dumb creation seek
To treat with love and gentleness:
These are the virtues we would train,
These are the rules of the Children's Chain.

O, little Links! the world has need
Of all the good that you can do;
O, little hearts! to you I plead
Ever to these resolves be true;
And let your every action prove
The mission of our Chain is Love.

Surely this world will be the brighter
For little seeds of kindness sown,
And many a troubled heart be lighter
For kind words spoken, or good deeds done;
And though years roll on there will remain
The influence of the Children's Chain.
