Stand for the right, though falsehood rail

1 Stand for the right! tho' falsehood rail,
And proud lips coldly sneer;
A poisoned arrow can not wound
A conscience pure and clear.

Refrain:
Stand for the right!
Stand, for the right!
A poisoned arrow can not wound
A conscience pure and clear.

2 Stand for the right! and with clean hands
Exalt the truth on high;
Thou'lt find warm sympathizing hearts
Among the passersby.

Refrain:
Stand for the right!
Stand, for the right!
Thou'lt find warm sympathizing hearts
Among the passersby.

3 Men who have seen, and tho't, and felt,
Yet could not boldly dare
The battle's brunt, but by thy side
Will every danger share.

Refrain:
Stand for the right!
Stand, stand for the right!
The battle's brunt, but by thy side
Will every danger share.

4 Stand for the right! proclaim it loud!
Thou'lt find an answering tone
In honest hearts, and thou'lt no more
Be doomed to stand alone.

Refrain:
Stand for the right!
Stand, for the right!
In honest hearts, and thou'lt no more
Be doomed to stand alone.
