TRUST IN GOD AND DO THE RIGHT - by Norman Macleod

 




TRUST  IN  GOD  AND  DO  THE  RIGHT

by   Norman Macleod


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, church, or faction,
Trust no leader in the fight;
But in every word and action
Trust in God and do the right.

Trust no forms of guilty passion - 
Friends 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;
Cease from man and look above thee - 
Trust in God and do the right.

Firmest rule, and safest guiding,
Inward peace and inward light;
Star upon our path abiding - 
Trust in God and do the right.
