34. Trust in God and Do the Right

1 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.

Chorus:
Trust in God, and do the right;
Trust in God, and do the right;
There’s a star to guide the humble:
Trust in God, and do the right.

2 Let the road be long and dreary,
And its ending out of sight,
Foot it bravely, strong or weary,
Trust in God and do the right. [Chorus]

3 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. [Chorus]

4 Simple rule and safest guiding,
Inward peace and inward light,
Star upon our path abiding,
Trust in God and do the right. [Chorus]
