Never say fail

Hymnal: The Morning Stars Sang Together #5 (1897) First Line: Keep working, 'tis wiser Lyrics: 1 Keep working, 'tis wiser Than sitting aside, And dreaming, and sighing, And waiting the tide; In life's earnest battle They only prevail, Who daily march onward, And never say fail. 2 With eyes ever open, A tongue that's not dumb, A heart that will never To sorrow succumb; You'll battle and conquer, Tho' thousands assail, How strong and how mighty, Who never say fail! 3 In life's rosy morning, In manhood's fair pride, Let this be your motto, Your footsteps to guide; In storm and in sunshine, Whatever assail, We'll onward and conquer, And never say fail. Tune Title: [Keep working, 'tis wiser]
