THINGS THAT CANNOT FAIL

When the anchors that faith has east Are dragging in the gale l am quietly holding fast
 To the things that cannot fail I know that right is right;

 And a neighbor than spy I know that passion needs

 That faith is truer than doubt. And fierce though the fiends may fight, And long though the angels hide, I know that Truth and Right
