Cast down the false gods that are
tempting you-
Give unto your soul. her wings!
Then there will fall on your burdened
The ointsnent Of peace and love;
And all will come right and the dark
ness Of night,
Be lost in the light above.
It 10 never too late to live life RIGHT
To start all over again.
Be steadfast. vigorous, unafraid,
Be man, among eartfl's meni
Drop al your foilies and sins and mis-
Take hold Of the hand Of God!
And the things that seem wrong will
come OUT right
No matter Where you plod.
