GHS 246 Oh Brother, Life's Journey Beginning

Verse 1 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. Chorus 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.” Verse 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. Verse 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.
