98. Stand By the Right

1 Working for the Master,
Working all the day,
Never be discourages,
Only watch and pray;
Do your duty nobly,
Heart and hand unite,
Minding the watchword,
Stand by the right;
Minding the watchword,
Stand by the right.

2 Working for the Master,
Do not be afraid;
Trials may befall you,
Never be dismayed;
Put your trust in Jesus,
Keep your armor bright;
Minding the watchword,
Stand by the right;
Minding the watchword,
Stand by the right.

3 Marching on to glory,
Still your way pursue;
In your Father’s kingdom
There’s a crown for you;
Live for Him who loves you,
Keep your colors bright;
Minding the watchword,
Stand by the right;
Minding the watchword,
Stand by the right.
