Hymn
Dare to Do Right
Dare to do right! dare to be true!
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, dare, dare to do right!
Dare, dare, dare to be true!
Dare to be true! dare to be true!
Dare to do right! dare to be true!
Jesus, your Saviour, will carry you thro';
City, and mansion, and throne all in sight,
Can you not dare to be true and do right?
