This seems to be the one. (From THIS PAGE).

DO YOUR BEST FOR ONE ANOTHER

Do your best for one another
In this world I have gained my knowledge
And for it I had to pay
Although I never went to College,
Yet I hear the poet say
Life is but a mighty river rolling on from day to day,
Men with vessels launch upon it
Some times wrecked and cast away.

Chorus
So do your best for one another
Making life a pleasant dream,
Help the poor and weary brother
Pulling hard against the stream.

Many a bright poor hearted fellow,
Many a noble minded man,
Finds himself in waters shallow
Go assist him if you can,
Some succeeds at every turning
Fortune favours every squall,
Others not a friend or not a shilling,
Pulling hard against them all.

Chorus

Now if the wind blow in your favour
And you wither every squall,
Think of those with luckless labour
Never yet fair winds at all,
Working hard discontented
Struggling on through oceans wide,
Not yet a friend or not a shilling
Pulling hard against the tide.
Chorus

Now don't give way to foolish sorrow,
This should keep you in good cheer.
Brighter days will come to-morrow
if we try and persevere.
The longest night will have a morning,
Though the sky is overcast.
And the longest lane will have a turning,
And the tide will turn at last.

Chorus
