Let the road be rough and dreary, and its end far out of sight; foot it bravely; strong or weary, trust in God, trust in God, trust in God, and do the right. 2 Perish policy and cunning, perish all that fears the light! Whether losing, whether winning, trust in God, and do the right. Some will hate you, some will love you, some will flatter, some will slight; heed them not, and look above you: trust in God, trust in God, trust in God, and do the right. 3 Simple rule and safest guiding, inward peace and inward might, star upon our path abiding, trust in God and do the right. Courage, sister! do not stumble, though your path be dark as night; there's a star to guide the humble: trust in God, trust in God, trust in God, and do the right.

Look off unto Jesus, now sorrow no more! The light of his countenance shineth so bright, That here, as in heaven, there need be no night. 2 While looking to Jesus, my heart cannot fear; I tremble no more when I see Jesus near; I know that his presence my safeguard will be, For, "Why are you troubled," he saith unto me. 3 Still looking to Jesus, oh, may I be found, When Jordan's dark waters encompass me round; They bear me away in his presence to be: I see him still nearer whom always I see. 4 Then, then shall I know the full beauty and grace Of Jesus, my Lord, when I stand face to face; Shall know how his love went before me each day, And wonder that ever my eyes turned away.

He is near to help and bless; Be not weary, onward press. 2 Look to him, who once was willing All his glory to resign, That, for thee the law fulfilling, All his merit might be thine. Strive to follow, day by day, Where his footsteps mark the way. 3 Look to him, the Lord of Glory, Tasting death to win thy life; Gazing on that wondrous story, Canst thou falter in the strife? Is it not new life to know That the Lord hath loved thee so? 4 Look to him, and faith shall brighten, Hope shall soar, and love shall burn, Peace once more thy heart shall lighten; Rise, he calleth thee, return! Be not weary on thy way; Jesus is thy strength and stay.
