You’re Starting, My Boy, On Life’s Journey,
Along The Grand Highway Of Life ;
You’ll Meet With A Thousand Temptations
Each City With Evil Is Rife.
This World Is A Stage Of Excitement,
There’s Danger Wherever You Go;
But If You Are Tempted In Weakness,
Have Courage, My Boy, To Say No !
Have Courage, My Boy, To Say No !
Have Courage, My Boy, To Say No !
Have Courage, My Boy, Have Courage, My Boy,
Have Courage, My Boy, To Say No I
In Courage, My Boy, Lies Your Safety,
When You The Long Journey Begin ;
Your Trust In A Heavenly Father
Will Keep You Unspotted From Sin.
Temptations Will Go On Increasing,
As Streams From A Rivulet Flow ;
But If You’d Be True To Your Manhood,
Have Courage, My Boy, To Say No !
Be Careful In Choosing Companions
Seek Only The Brave And The True ;
And Stand By Your Friends When In Trial-
Ne’er Changing The Old For The New.
And When By False Friends You Are Tempted
The Taste Of The Wine-Cup To Know,
With Firmness, With Patience, And Kindness,
Have Courage, My Boy, To Say No !
