Rhymes for Hard Times.

OURAGE, brother! do not stumble, Though thy path be dark as night, There's a star to guide the humble; "Trust in God, and do the right."

Though the road be long and dreary, And the end be out of sight; Foot it bravely, strong or weary, "Trust in God, and do the right."

Perish policy and cunning; Perish all that fears the light, Whether losing, whether winning, "Trust in God, and do the right."

Shun all forms of guilty passion, Fiends can look like angels bright.

Heed no custom, school or fashion, "Trust in God, and do the right."
