Refrain: Face the other way, boys, Face the other way, In spite of censure or applause, Face the other way; Face, face, Face the other way, In spite of censure or applause, Face the other way. 2 The social glass you must not pass, But God and truth obey; And ne’er turn back on duty’s track, But face the other way. [Refrain] 3 Should lovely maid, your mirth to aid, Present the glad and say, Behold, the wine I’ve brought is thine, Just face the other way. [Refrain] 4 The liquor host with all their boast Must not your hearts dismay; Fear not defeat, nor once retreat, But face the other way. [Refrain] 5 Let others hear your words of cheer; Go, bid the souls astray Their steps retrace, by God’s free grace, And face the other way. [Refrain] Tune Title: [Now, boys, attend: should miscalled friend]

Philadelphia, PA, 1921) received his musical training from his father and several other private teachers. A carpenter by trade, he engaged in the furniture business from 1862 to 1878. He left that profession to dedicate his life to music, serving as music director at Grace Methodist Church in Philadelphia. Kirkpatrick compiled some one hundred gospel song collections; his first, Devotional Melodies (1859), was published when he was only twenty-one years old. Many of these collections were first published by the John Hood Company and later by Kirkpatrick's own Praise Publishing Company, both in Philadelphia. Bert Polman
