Dare to Be Brave

Dare to be brave

dare to be true;

Strive for the right

for the Lord is with you;

Fight with sin brave­ly

fight and be strong;

Christ is your cap­tain; fear on­ly what’s wrong.

Fight then

good sol­diers

fight and be brave;

Christ is your cap­tain

migh­ty to save.

Dare to be brave

dare to be true

Hearken to con­science

’tis God’s voice in you;

Though com­rades de­ride and leave you for­lorn

Stand like the he­ro

un­shak­en by scorn.

Dare to be brave

dare to be true;

God is your Fa­ther: He watch­es o’er you;

He knows your tri­als; when your heart quails

Call Him to res­cue

His grace nev­er fails.

Dare to be brave

dare to be true

Shun all dis­hon­or

no mean act­ion do;

Bear pain if it comes

with firm­ness en­dure

Hold to your hon­or

keep your heart pure.

Dare to be brave

dare to be true;

Keep the straight way of du­ty ev­er in view;

Do all your work as well as you can

Work for the Lord

not on­ly for man.

Dare to be brave

dare to be true;

God grant you cour­age to car­ry you through;

Try to help oth­ers

ev­er be kind;

Let the op­pressed a strong friend in you find.

Dare to be brave

dare to be true

Think of the home that’s wait­ing for you;

Home where the faith­ful whose bat­tles are o’er

Rest in the Lord in joy ev­er­more.
