We are not here to play, to dream, to drift; We have hard work to do and loads to lift; Shun not the struggle, face it, ’tis God’s gift. Be strong, be strong! 2 Be strong! Say not the days are evil—who’s to blame? And fold the hands and acquiesce—O shame! Stand up, speak out, and bravely, in God’s name. Be strong, be strong! 3 Be strong! It matters not how deep entrench'd the wrong, How hard the battle goes, the day, how long; Faint not, fight on! Tomorrow comes the song. Be strong, be strong! Amen.
