  Courage, brother! do not stumble; Though thy path be dark as night, There’s a star to guide the humble: Trust in God, and do the right. Though the road be long and dreary, And the goal be out of sight, Foot it bravely, strong or weary: Trust in God, and do the right. Perish, policy and cunning, Perish, all that fears the light: Whether losing, whether winning, Trust in God, and do the right. Fly all forms of guilty passion; Fiends can look like angels bright; Heed no custom, school, or fashion: Trust in God, and do the right. Some will hate thee, some will love thee, Some will flatter, some will slight; Cease from Man, and look above thee: Trust in God, and do the right. Simple rule and surest guiding, Inward peace and shining light; Star upon our path abiding: Trust in God, and do the right. |
