Strive for the right

1 Strive for the right, Battle for truth,
Give unto Jesus the years of thy youth,
Think of his promise to those who would seek
Early the paths of the good and the meek.

Chorus:
Right and truth, right and truth,
These should be the guide of youth.
Right and truth, right and truth,
These should be the guide of youth.

2 Strive for the right, Ever be true,
Jesus your hearts with his love will imbue,
Keep you forever and save you from sin,
Guard you from blemish without and within. [Chorus]

3 Strive for the right, Ever be true,
Darkness and sorrow if called to pass through,
Think of the mercy that never will fail,
Anchor of strength unto mortals so frail. [Chorus]

4 Strive for the right, Fly from the wrong,
Angels will welcome you home with glad song,
Say to you, enter your mansion above,
Dwell evermore in the city of love. [Chorus]
