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!
