#580Truth Crushed to Earth

Words: Isaac Watts
Music: Lowell Mason
1
Truth crushed to earth shall rise again, The eternal years of God are hers; But Error, wounded, writhes in pain, And dies among his worshippers.
2
Yes, though the good man die, his deed Shall light the world in after years; That deed shall shine through endless deed, And kindle hope and dry the tears.
3
So let the way appear steps unto heaven; All paths but one are wrong, And lead to endless night; But one is right, and leads to light.
