Do What Is Right

Hymns, 27


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

Do what is right; lete 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; lete 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; lete 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!
