Be firm, be bold, be strong, be true,
“And dare to stand alone;”
Strive for the right, whate’er ye do,
Though helpers there be none.
Nay, bend not to the swelling surge
Of fashions sneer and wrong;
‘Twill bear thee on to ruin s verge,
With current wild and strong.
Stand for the right, though falsehood rail,
And proud lips coldly sneer;
A poisoned arrow can not wound
A conscience pure and clear.
Stand for the right, and with clean hands
Exalt the truth on high;
Thou’lt find warm, sympathizing hearts
Among the passers-by.
Stand for the right, proclaim it loud,
Thou’lt find an answering tone
In honest hearts, and then no more
Be doomed to stand alone.
