226. Be True to the Best You Know

1 Be true to the best you know;
Be true to the dreams within;
Keep honor as clean as snow,
Untouched by the stain of sin.

Refrain:
Be true, be true,
He loses who stoops to win! to win!
Be true, be true,
Be true to the dreams within!

2 Be true to your soul’s best light;
Be true to your life’s best good;
Look up to the cross-marked height,
And stand as the brave have stood. [Refrain]

3 Be true to the best you know,
Let others do what they will;
Though onward alone you go,
Be true to the White Christ still. [Refrain]
