STICK TO THE LIGHT.

Be sure your right then go ahead
With footsteps firm and strong;
The harsh frowns of the world ne’er dread,
Nor stand thou wavering long.

Though the whole world at thee should jeer,
Thy noblest efforts scorn,
Look up – their scorn you do not fear;
To cringe thou was not born.

There is implanted in thy heart,
A nobler, purer aim;
For thee to reach there is a goal –
That goal strive to obtain.

Thy nobler purposes in view,
Thy footing firm maintain;
Give not one single inch, and you
The victory will gain.

Maintain a soul that’s free from guile,
A heart with lofty aim,
That’s blest with Heaven’s approving smile,
Kindled with holy flames.

You know you’re right then push ahead
With footsteps firm and free,
All obstacles before have fled –
‘Tis thus they always flee….
