Be True

By R. Hare

Be true, be ever true, True to thyself and heaven; Keep conscience clear as noonday sun; Life’s every task of duty done, And every wrong forgiven.
Be true, be always true; True, since the hours that fly Convey the records traced below, Of thoughts and deeds and words we sow, To register on high.
Be true, while time is thine; The restless years that run, Unfolding moments as they go, Can know no pause or backward flow, Till all of life is done.
Be true, for God is true; He beckons thee to rest, Where all is perfect, changeless, pure, A heritage that must endure, Where all the true are blest. — R. Hare.
