Author: Anne Brontë Hymnal: The Hymnal of The Evangelical United Brethren Church #253 (1957) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Believe not those who say
The upward path is smooth;
Lest thou should stumble in the way,
And faint before the truth.
2 Arm, arm thee for the fight:
Cast useless loads away;
Watch through the darkest hours of night;
Toil through the hottest day.
3 To labor and to love,
To pardon and endure,
To lift thy heart to God above,
And keep thy conscience pure,
4 Be this thy constant aim,
Thy hope, thy chief delight;
What matter who should whisper blame
Or who should scorn or slight,
5 If but thy God approve,
And if, within thy breast,
Thou feel the comfort of His love,
The earnest of His rest?
Amen. Scripture: Ephesians 6:10-17 Tune Title: ST. BRIDE
