Be Strong
Be strong!
We are not here to ply, to dream, to drift;
We have hard work to do, and loads to lift.
Shun not the struggle; face it.
— It’s God’s gift.Be strong!
Say not the days are evil-Who’s to blame?
Or fold your hands, as in defeat-O shame!
Stand up, speak out, and bravely,
— In God’s name.Be strong!
It matters not how deep entrenched the wrong,
How hard the battle goes, the day how long,
Faint not, fight on!
—Tomorrow comes the song.
—Maltbie D. Babcock
