Hymnal: Minnetonka Songs #78 (1879) Hymnal Title: Minnetonka Songs First Line: You're starting, my boy, on life's journey Lyrics: 1 You’re starting, my boy, on life’s journey,
Along the grand highway of life.
You’ll meet with a thousand temptations,
Each city with evil is rife.
This world is a stage of excitement,
There’s danger wherever you go;
But if you are tempted to weakness,
Have courage, my boy, to say No!
Chorus:
Have courage, my boy, to say No,
Have courage, my boy, to say No.
Have courage, my boy,
Have courage, my boy,
Have courage, my boy, to say No.
2 In courage alone lies yours safety,
When you the long journey begin.
Your trust in a Heavenly Father
Will keep you unspotted from sin.
Temptations will go on increasing,
As streams from a rivulet flow;
But if you’d be true to your man-hood,
Have courage, my boy, to say No! [Chorus]
