Give me truth to live and walk by Let it be my guiding star On truth only will I relay If it's near or if it's far.
Truth may sometimes be mistreated Error conquer for one play But truth cannot be defeated It will live another day.
Truth is what we need for living It alone is our safe guide Nothing different is worth giving So all else let's set aside.
Let us seek for truth whatever We have set our minds to do Other ways however clever Never can deliver you.
If for me or for another Or the laws of our home land Let us strive for truth My brothers and sisters Every time we a stand.
Yes, truth is always beautiful Though it may not fit our plan And to tell it is suitable More than it makes a man
If religious or judicial Or whatever on our mind Let it ever be official It is truth we wish to find. |
