Trust in God and Do the Right

Courage, brother! do not stumble,

Though thy path is dark as night;

There's a star to guide the humble--

Trust in God and do the right

. Let the road be long and dreary,

And its ending out of sight;

Foot it bravely--strong or weary,

Trust in God and do the right.

Perish "policy" and cunning,

Perish all that fears the light;

Whether losing, whether winning,

Trust in God and do the right.

Trust no party, trust no faction,

Trust no leaders in the fight;

But in every word and action

Trust in God and do the right.

Trust no forms of guilty passion,

Fiends can look like angels bright;

Trust no custom, school, or fashion,

Trust in God and do the right.

Some will hate thee, some will love thee,

Some will flatter, some will slight;

Turn from man, and look above thee,

Trust in God and do the right.

Simple rule and safest guiding,

Inward peace and inward light;

Star upon our path abiding,

TRUST IN GOD AND DO THE RIGHT.
