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 taking Of 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.
