Sacred Songs and Solos Lyrics
Hymn No.699

First Line: O brother, life's journey beginning,

O brother, life's journey beginning,
With courage and firmness arise !----
Look well to the course thou art choosing;
Be earnest, be watchful, and wise !
Remember----two paths are before thee,
And both thy attention invite ;
But one leadeth on to destruction,
The other to joy and delight.

God help you to follow His banner,
And serve Him wherever you go ;
And when you are tempted, my brother,
God give you the grace to say No !

2 O brother, yield not to the tempter,
No matter what others may do ;
Stand firm in the strength of the Master,
Be loyal, be faithful, and true !
Each trial will make you the stronger,
If you, in the name of the Lord,
Fight manfully under your Leader,
Obeying the voice of His word.

3 O brother, the Saviour is calling !
Beware of the danger of sin ;
Resist not the voice of the Spirit,
That whispers so gently within.
God calls you to enter His service----
To live for Him here, day by day ;
And share by and by in the glory
That never shall vanish away.
