MAKE IT RIGHT.

HAVE you wronged another— Stranger, neighbor, sister, brother— In God's sight? Have you strewn their path with sadness— You, who should have given them gladness? Then, as morning follows night, Make it right.
Make it right by strong endeavor; Conscience is a mighty lever, You will find. If you can, make restitution, Nor delay its execution, Lest you, of a different mind, Wax unkind.
It may cost you time and money, Make your pathway seem less sunny, Home less bright; But in that you are mistaken— Man was never yet forsaken Climbing up God's holy height— Make it right.
Should the wrong be past undoing, Still, the path of right pursuing All the way; That you ne'er may wrong another, Stranger, neighbor, sister, brother, Pray, friend, pray, Every day!
