Stand for the Right


	Stand for the Right Joseph Ballantyne from the 1951 The Children Sing (and before): Listen, my boy, I've a word for you, And this is the word: Be true, be true, At work and at play, in darkness or light, Be true, be true, and stand for the right. And you, little girl, I've a word for you, It is the same: Be true, be true, For truth is the sun, and falsehood the night, Be True, be true, and stand for the right. ----------------- as edited for the 1969 Sing With Me: Our prophet has some words for you, And these are the words: Be true, be true, At work and at play, in darkness or light, Be true, be true, and stand for the right.
