NEVER GIVE UP!

Seventh-day Adventist Missionary Society · Oakland, California · May 20, 1880

Never give up, brother, never give up! God has a blessing for those who work hard. Why should you murmur, and grumble, and fret, And envy the pleasure from which you're debarred? Work like a man, Do the best that you can; That is the wisest and happiest plan!

Never give up, brother, never give up, Though the future looks lowering, and gloom, and drear, Though the sun shine not now, yet it may very soon; So keep up a brave heart, and tread down your fear, Soon may come light, And all will be bright, Only struggle, and strive, and do what is right!

Never give up, brother, never give up, Though your burden be heavy, and dark be your way; The bow in the clouds only comes with the rain, And when night is deepest, then bursts forth the day. Soon troubles will cease, And our sorrows decrease; Only trust in the Lord, and then all will be peace!
