Do What Is Right

Hymns, 314


1. Do what is right; the day-dawn is breaking,Hailing a future of freedom and light;Angels above us are silent notes takingOf ev’ry action; Do what is right!

Do what is right; let the consequence follow;Battle for freedom in spirit and might;And with stout hearts look ye forth till tomorrow;God will protect you; Then do what is right.

2. Do what is right; the shackles are falling;Chains of the bondmen no longer are bright;Lightened by hope soon they’ll cease to be galling;Truth goeth onward; Do what is right!

Do what is right; let the consequence follow;Battle for freedom in spirit and might;And with stout hearts look ye forth till tomorrow;God will protect you; Then do what is right.

3. Do what is right; be faithful and fearless;Onward, press onward, the goal is in sight;Eyes that are wet now ere long will be tearless;Blessings await you In doing what’s right.

Do what is right; let the consequence follow;Battle for freedom in spirit and might;And with stout hearts look ye forth till tomorrow;God will protect you; Then do what is right.
