179. Do the Right

1 Courage brother, do not stumble,
Tho' thy path be dark as night,
There’s a hand to guide the humble,
Trust in God and do the right.

Chorus:
Do the right, do the right,
Trust in God and do the right,
Courage brother do not stumble,
Trust in God and do the right.

2 If the road be rough and dreary,
And its end far out of sight,
Tread it bravely, strong or weary,
Trust in God and do the right. [Chorus]

3 Simple rule, and safest guiding,
Inward peace, and inward might,
Comes while in his love abiding,
Trusting God and doing right. [Chorus]

4 Some will hate and some will love thee,
Some will flatter, some will slight,
Heed them not but look about thee,
Trust in God and do the right [Chorus]
