Be True

By H. L. Babcock

To God be true. Let naught of praise or blame Turn thy true heart from following the right.

Weak is the help of man; and weaker still The soul that puts its trust in such A broken reed. None else but God Can power bestow to stem the tide of evil That assails thee; and he alone is true.

Then give him all thy heart, And all thou art. Keep nothing back. For when thou giv'st him all, He doubles blessings on thy head, and All things that he hath are thine Forevermore.

— H. L. Babcock, in Herald of Life.
