Take Courage

S. LESLIE G. BEAUFOY

Come, loyal pilgrim, rise again
And take the narrow road!
Tread bravely onward to the light
And leave behind your load.

Why do you turn and sadly gaze
Upon the sins of yore?
Turn from the shadow to the sun;
Arise, and sin no more!

See how the clouds that seemed so dark
Have vanished, every one.
In clearer light you shall behold
The good that you have done.

And lo! the loveliest flowers of all
Bloom where your feet have trod.
Sing, loyal pilgrim; sing for joy!
Man is the son of God.
