Try, Keep Trying By Daniel C. Colesworthy

Have your efforts proved in vain?
Do not sink to earth again;
Try, keep trying:
They who yield can nothing do;
A feather’s weight will break them thro’;
Try, keep trying:
On yourself alone relying,
You will conquer; try, keep trying.

Falter not! but heavenward rise!
Put forth all your energies;
Try, keep trying:
Every step that you progress
Will make each future effort less;
Try, keep trying:
On the truth and God relying,
You will conquer; try, keep trying.

Ponderous barriers you may meet,
But against them bravely beat;
Try, keep trying:
Nought should drive you from the track,
Turn you from your purpose back;
Try, keep trying:
On yourself alone relying,
You will conquer; try, keep trying.

You will conquer if you try,
Win the prize before you die;
Try, keep trying:
Remember, nothing is so true,
As they who dare will ever do;
Try, keep trying:
On yourself and God relying,
You will conquer; try, keep trying
