Hold fast to the right şarkı sözleri

Kneel down by the side of your mother, my boy You have only a moment I know But stay till I give you this parting advice It is all that I have to bestow (Refrain) Hold fast to the right, hold fast to the right Wherever your footsteps may roam Oh forsake not the way of a salvation my boy That you learn'd from your mother at home You leave us to seek your employment, my boy By the world you have yet to be tried But in the temptations and trials you meet May your heart to the Savior confide (Refrain) I gave you to God in your cradle, my boy And I've taught you the best that I knew And as long as His mercies permit me to live And I shall never cease praying for you (Refrain) You will find in your satchel, a Bible, my boy It's the book of all others the best It will help you to leve and prepare you to die And will lead to the gates of the blest (Refrain)
