Endeavor




The soul grows strong in noble strife


This is the law forever


Be it the motto of thy life


Endeavor, Oh, endeavor


Strive for he mastery of self


From All low aims to sever


From passion, pride, and love of self


Endeavor and endeavor


Let thy mind entertain the good


Corrupt Guests Harbor never


Feed on high thought—‘tis angel’s food


Endeavor ,still endeavor!


Spurn all the blandishments of sin


But follow virtue ever


Her smile ‘tis blessedness to win


Endeavor, aye, endeavor!
