June Carter Cash - Hold Fast to the Right

Текст песни

Well I gave you to God in your cradle my boy
And I’ve taught you the best that I knew
And as long as His mercies permit me to live
I shall never cease praying for you
Hold fast to the right hold fast to the right
Wherever your footsteps shall roam
And forsake not the way of salvation my boy
That you learned from your mother at home
Well you leave us to seek your employment my boy
By the world you have yet to be tried
But in temptations and trials you eet my boy
May your heart to the Savior confide
Hold fast to the right hold fast to the right
Wherever your footsteps shall roam
And forsake not the way of salvation my boy
That you learned from your mother at home
You will find in your satchel a Bible my boy
It’s the book of all others the best
It will help you to live and prepare you to die
And will lead to the gates of the blest
Hold fast to the right hold fast to the right
Wherever your footsteps shall roam
And forsake not the way of salvation my boy
That you learned from your mother at home
