You have a work that no other can do;

Do it so bravely, so kindly, so well,

Angels will hasten the story to tell.

“Dare to do right! dare to be true!

The failings of others can never save you;

Stand by your conscience, your honor, your faith;

Stand like a hero, and battle till death.

“Dare to do right! dare to be true!

God, who created you, cares for you too—

Treasures the tears which his striving ones shed,
