| Text: | Be Strong To Do Right |
| Author: | Lizzie DeArmond |
| Tune: | [So many temptations around us are spread] |
| Composer: | E. Lester Thurman |
1 So many temptations around us are spread,
That we must keep watching while onward we tread,
We’ll try to remember while hard is the fight,
When evil assails us, be strong to do right.
Refrain:
Be strong to do right,
Be brave in the fight,
When tempted to evil,
Be strong to do right.
2 God looks from His heaven to comfort and cheer,
O let us take courage when He is so near,
His strength He will give us by day and by night,
When evil assails us, be strong to do right. [Refrain]
3 In life’s happy morning there’s work to be done,
No time to be idle, He counts on each one,
With loyal endeavor we’ll go in His might,
When evil assails us, be strong to do right. [Refrain]
