Full Lyrics
Be true to the friends that love you
In this valley of sorrows and tears,
Be true to the heaven above you,
Moving onward with never a fear;
Be true to the pow’r that holds you
Firm and strong in the pathway of right,
Be true to the hearts that enfold you,
Thus turning your darkness to light.
Be true, be true,
Be true as the sun to the day,
Then ever we’ll cherish this motto:
Be true alway.
Be true to the soul immortal
That is given you here below;
Keep it ready to enter the portal
Of bliss, where we all hope to go.
Be true to the inspirations
Of a presence all di vine,
And the hand that holds the blessing
Reaching kindly out to thine.
Be true to the great high spirit
Who lives thro’ eternal years,
For do we not all inherit
That life fraught with joy or with tears?
Let us make it a life elysian,
That life ever old yet new,
Let us enter that glorious heaven,
Be true, be true, be true.
Mrs. W. B. Willet
