Be Strong (Hudnut)

lyricist: William Hudnut, 1910
Composer: Theodore Perkins

Quit you like men

be strong

be strong;

There’s a bur­den to bear

there’s a grief to share;

There’s a heart that breaks ’neath a load of care—

But fare ye forth with a song

But fare ye forth with a song.

Quit you like men

be strong

be strong;

There’s a bat­tle to fight

there’s a wrong to right;

There’s a God who bless­es the good with might—

So fare ye forth with a song

So fare ye forth with a song.

Quit you like men

be strong

be strong;

There’s a work to do

there’s a world to make new;

There’s a call for men who are brave and true—

Speed on! speed on with a song

Speed on! speed on with a song.

Quit you like men

be strong

be strong;

There’s a year of grace

there’s a God to face

There’s ano­ther heat in the great world race—

Speed on! speed on with a song

Speed on! speed on with a song.
