Do What Is Right (Men’s Voices)
Do What Is Right (Men’s Voices)
1. Do what is right; the day-dawn is breaking,Hailing a future of freedom and light;Angels above us are silent notes takingOf every 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 bondsmen 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.
