Never Turn Aside

From du­ty’s straight and nar­row way

O nev­er turn aside;

It is the path to end­less day

O nev­er turn aside.

O nev­er

nev­er turn aside

O nev­er

nev­er turn aside;

Be firm for God and truth and right

And nev­er turn aside.

Tho’ com­rades jeer with sil­ly talk

O nev­er turn aside;

In wis­dom’s path it pays to walk

O nev­er turn aside.

Someone is step­ping in your track

O nev­er turn aside;

From death and ru­in keep him back

O nev­er turn aside.

Life’s pros­pects fair

why should you blight?

O nev­er turn aside;

Take Christ to be your guide and light

O nev­er turn aside.
