Gospel Jewels ‎#52

52. To the Right

1 Are you marching, patient marching,
Thro’ the storms of life?
Are you meeting, daily meeting
Weary toil and strife?
There’s a voice above the tumult, speaking still to you,
Never falter, never waver,
To the right be true.

Refrain:
To the right, to the right,
List the voice that speaks to you,
To the right be ever true,
To the right,
To the right,
Never falter, never waver,
To the right be true.

2 Are you thinking, daily thinking
Of the painful way?
Often asking, frequent asking
Why these suff’rings stay?
Hear a promise, all shall surely work for good to you,
Never fearing, never doubting,
To the right be true. [Refrain]

3 Are you hoping, joyful hoping,
For the rest of heaven?
Are you waiting, patient waiting,
Till the chains are riven?
Would you keep the heavenly mansions clear and bright in view?
Always heed the earnest promptness,
To the right be true. [Refrain]
