7. Striving to do Right

1 When we're weary, sad, and lonely,
And discouraged in the fight,
There is One who's ever near us,
When we're striving to do right.

Chorus; It is Jesus, blessed Jesus,
Our great Leader in the fight,
We will conquer thro' His spirit,
When we're striving to do right.

2 He will help us to the battle,
In the daytime and the night,
If we only ask His guidance,
When we're striving to do right. [Chorus]

3 If we only would remember,
Our Redeemer's strength and might,
That we have His arms around us,
When we're striving to do right. [Chorus]

4 As we journey on to glory,
We must trust Him in the fight,
And we'll find a mighty Helper,
When we're striving to do right. [Chorus]
