97. Stand for the Right

1 Be firm, be bold, be strong, be true,
“And dare to stand alone;”
Strive, strive for the right, whate’er you do,
Tho’ helper there be none,
Tho’ helper there be none.

2 Stand for the right, and hold your ground,
Tho’ proud lips coldly sneer;
A poisoned arrow cannot wound
A conscience pure and clear,
A conscience pure and clear.

3 Stand for the right, and with clean hands
Exalt the truth on high;
Thou’ltfind warm, sympathizing friends
Among the passers-by,
Among the passers-by.
