Never Give Up. July 1907.

Never give up the right way
I will brighten bye and bye.
In every time of trial
The blessed Lord is right.
Tho evil counsels darken
And ere passions try
Never give up the right way
Twice brighten bye and bye.
Never give up the right way
Tho narrow, steep and straight
For at the end is shining
The golden city's gate.
And so, if sorrows darken
And selfish pleasures fly
Nev give up the right way twice brighten by & by.

Never give up the right way
Tho tempted oft and long.
Remember who is near thee
With hand, so kind and strong.
What ever then may darken
What ever fade and die
Never give the right way twice brighten by & by.

Ella C. Kurd.
