1 Take this motto for your life,
Do right, do right, do right, do right!
Guard it well in every strife,
Do right, do right, do right!
Heed its teachings in your heart,
From its precepts ne’er depart,
Let not evil get the start,
Do right, do right, do right!

2 Tho’ the tempter whisper low,
Do right, do right, do right, do right!
He will only prove your foe,
Do right, do right, do right!
Ever be where duty calls,
In the field or palace halls;
Flee from haunts where sin appalls,
Do right, do right, do right!

3 Pleasure will allure the mind:
Do right, do right, do right, do right!
’Tis a snare to all mankind:
Do right, do right, do right!
Principles must help us here,
Keep our minds from doubt and fear;
Make our pathways bright and clear,
Do right, do right, do right, do right!
