O brother, life's journey beginning, With courage and firmness arise !---- Look well to the course thou art choosing; Be earnest, be watchful, and wise ! Remember----two paths are before thee, And both thy attention invite ; But one leadeth on to destruction, The other to joy and delight.
God help you to follow His banner, And serve Him wherever you go ; And when you are tempted, my brother, God give you the grace to say " No ! "
2. O brother, yield not to the tempter, No matter what others may do ; Stand firm in the strength of the Master, Be loyal, be faithful, and true ! Each trial will make you the stronger, If you, in the name of the Lord, Fight manfully under your Leader, Obeying the voice of His word.
3. O brother, the Saviour is calling ! Beware of the danger of sin ; Resist not the voice of the Spirit, That whispers so gently within. God calls you to enter His service---- To live for Him here, day by day ; And share by and by in the glory That never shall vanish away.
