Show JUST FOLKS By Edgar A. Guest DUTY I shall havo done my duty here on earth If I have lived up to tho best I knew. If I havo tried at times to be of worth And gladly done the little I could do. I think I need not fear God's judment then If only I have kept my record clean. Have dally walked among my fellow men And played the friend wherever I have been. I neod not have great deeds of which to boast " Nor point to splendcrs-gaincd by but the few; If1 1 have kept the faith and held my post I shall have done what I w.i3 born to do There Is a deeper pride than strength or skill, A greater glory than earth's fleet-c fleet-c ing fame, There is the triumph of a steadfast will. An honest heart excels a blazoned name. ' If I shall live up the light I own. Shall keep the faith when tempted and assailed. I need not tremble at the Great White Throno . Though men on earth may say that I have failed. |
