VALUE OF GOODNESS.
Do like the good, and you will beAs happy as a king;
Do like the good, and misery
Your heart will never wring.
Do like the good in early youth,
In all you think and say;
And kindly think, and speak the truth,
And wise commands obey.
In all you think and say;
And kindly think, and speak the truth,
And wise commands obey.
Do like the good, when morning light
To bless the land appears;
Pray then and at the verge of night
To God who kindly hears.
To bless the land appears;
Pray then and at the verge of night
To God who kindly hears.
Do like the good in every place,
Wherever you may be,
And God will bless you with his grace,—
His grace for all is free.
Wherever you may be,
And God will bless you with his grace,—
His grace for all is free.
Do like the good, and misery
Your heart will never wring;
But rich in goodness you will be,
And happy as a king.
Your heart will never wring;
But rich in goodness you will be,
And happy as a king.
