That he may do to thee no ill.
Be strong, O man of earth, be strong!
Let virtue’s sceptre guide thy hand;
From morn till night, from night till morn, do thou
Undaunted ’gainst brute evil stand.
Be strong, O man of earth, be strong!
Grip steadily to that noble task
To fight the want that argues in thy soul
To let each sinning be the last.
Be strong, O man of earth, be strong!
