God and the Right

By Dr. Norman Macleod

COURAGE, brother, do not stumble, Though thy path is dark as night; There's a star to guide the humble— “Trust in God, and do the right.”

Let the road be long and dreary, And its ending out of sight, Foot it bravely, strong or weary; “Trust in God, and do the right.”

Perish “policy” and cunning, Perish all that fears the light— Whether losing, whether winning, “Trust in God, and do the right.”

Trust no forms of guilty passion— Friends can look like angels bright; Trust no custom, school, or fashion— “Trust in God, and do the right.”

Some will hate thee; some will love thee; Some will flatter, some will slight; Cease from man, and look above thee— “Trust in God, and do the right.”

Simple rule and safest guiding, Inward peace and inward light, Star upon our path abiding— “Trust in God, and do the right.”

— Dr. Norman Macleod.
