BE STRONG IN TRUTH.

Be strong in truth! No cause can fail While truth's its corner stone; No hope can die—no bosom quail, While truth has there its home.
The tyrant's steel may pierce the heart, And break each human tie, But truth will live to act its part, When time itself shall die.
The gory hand may shake the spear, And sound its dread alarm; But none who stand for truth need fear Such futile power to harm.
Then strike once more, nor dread the blow That pamper'd millions wield, But brave for truth each pungent throe On life's broad battle field.
A brighter day will dawn, and soon Its sun to zenith rise, When high above the earth, will loom— Truth lives, and never dies!
