16572. Never Give Up The Right Way

1 Never give up the right way,
’Twill bright­en by and by;
In ev­ery time of trial,
The bless­èd Lord is nigh;
Tho’ ev­il coun­sels dark­en,
And ev­il pas­sions try,

Refrain:
Never give up the right way,
’Twill bright­en by and by.
Never give up, nev­er give up,
Never give up the right way,
’Twill bright­en by and by.

2 Never give up the right way,
Tho’ nar­row, steep and straight,
For at the end is shin­ing
The Gold­en Ci­ty’s gate;
And so, if sor­rows dark­en,
And self­ish plea­sures fly, [Refrain]

3 Never give up the right way,
Tho’ tempte­d oft and long,
Remember who is near thee,
With hand so kind and strong;
Whatever then may dark­en,
Whatever fade and die, [Refrain]
