If I can help someone in need,
If I can be a friend to someone,
If I can ease someone's pain,
Share what surrounds us,
Then I know what true joy brings,
Then I find comfort in my work,
Then I will know why I am
a Soroptimist.
If the cry for freedom stirs my heart,
If my friends hear my voice,
If I love my homeland,
I will reach out to strangers,
If I share the treasures of friendship,
Holding the world in my palm,
Then I will know – what joy it is in my heart To be
among the Soroptimists.
If I can defend
goodness on earth And show courage,
If love reigns in my home
, Blessed by the spirit of the Lord,
Then I will understand the meaning of my days,
Then my life will not be in vain.
And I will pray, "Bring me grace," I will
remain a Soroptimist.
