Be strong! We are not here to play, to dream, to drift; We have hard work to do, and loads to lift. Shun not the struggle; face it - tis God's gift. Be strong! Say not the days are evil - who's to blame? And fold the hands and acquiesce - O shame! Stand up, speak out, and bravely, In God's name. Be strong! How hard the battle goes, the day how long, Faint not, fight on! Face the throng; Tomorrow comes the song. Maltbie D. Babcock June '98 Gospel Standard |
