We'll take for our watchword, be good and be true.
With this on our banner we'll ever prevail,
For goodness and truthfulness never can fail:
Chorus:
The good. The good
Forever we'll stand by the good and the true,
For this is our motto in all that we do,
Forever to stand by the good and the true.
2 We'll ever be true to all blessings confer'd,
And true to instructions so frequently heard.
May all our thoughts daily be only of good,
And evil in action be ever withstood. [Chorus]
3 Our day may be dreary, no sunlight may shine,
Our way may be weary, our courage decline,
By seeking the pathway of wisdom and peace,
Our darkness will brighten, our courage increase. [Chorus]
4 In action we'll strive to be good and in thought,
And truthful in words as our Savior has taught.
Be true in our friendship, be good to our foes,
Thus life in its ending will happily close. [Chorus]

William Bentley
1759 - 1819 Person Name: Wm. W. Bentley Composer of "[Whatever our station, in all that we do]" in Joyful Songs William Bentley (June 22, 1759, Boston, Massachusetts – December 29, 1819, Salem, Massachusetts) was minister, scholar, columnist, and diarist. His ancestors were early Puritan settlers to New England. He lived with his grandfather, William Paine, a well-to-do landowner, who sent him to North Writing School at the age of six, where he studied Latin and Greek. At the age of fourteen, his grandfather enrolled him in Harvard University. After graduating, he taught at Boston Latin School North Writing School, and then became a Greek and Latin tutor at Harvard University while attending graduate classes in theology. He was one of the first New England minister to profess unitarian beliefs and was a close friend of James Freeman, the first minister in the United States to call himself a Unitarian. In 1783 he was invited to be a candidate for assistant minister at Second Congregational(East) Church in Salem, Massachusetts, where he served until his death. The senior minister was James Diman, a Calvinist, who opposed Bentley's appointment; Diman allowed him to preach but not to administer the sacraments. The congregation, however, preferred Bentley's more liberal views. He prized morality and good works over Calvinist grace and faith. He wrote twice-weekly columns for the Salem newspapers summarizing foreign and domestic news. He owned a very large library, second only to Thomas Jefferson's, and kept a diary all of his life.
