KEEP

Seventh-day Adventist Publishing Association · Battle Creek, Mich. · Feb 20, 1872

Keep to the right, the law directs, Keep from the world thy friends' defects, Keep all thy thoughts on purest themes, Keep from thine eyes the motes and beams. Keep true thy deeds, thy honor bright, Keep firm thy faith in God and right. Keep free from every sin and stain, Keep from the ways that bring thee pain. Keep free thy tongue from words of ill, Keep right thy aim, and good thy will, Keep all thy acts from passion free, Keep strong in hope, no envy see. Keep watchful care o'er tongue and hand, Keep firm thy feet, by justice stand, Keep true thy word, a sacred thing, Keep from the snares the tempters bring. Keep faith with each you call a friend, Keep full in view the final end, Keep from all hate and malice free, Keep strong the love of liberty. Keep firm thy courage bold and strong, Keep up the right, keep down the wrong, Keep well the words of wisdom's school, Keep warm by night, by day keep cool. — Worcester Spy.
