Text:Will You Battle for the Right?
Tune:[Will you battle for the right]
Composer:J. R. Murray

162a. Will You Battle for the Right?

1 Will you battle for the right
With a purpose true and strong?
Will your little feet, in spite of thorns,
Bravely press along?

2 None can tell what life may bring,
What its days may have for thee;
But the Heavenly Father's tender love
Cares for you and me.

3 We will trust his watchful care,
Though our sight be faint and dim,
Safe in any path our feet may tread,
If we walk with him.
