Fate shall often call you "out,"

But keep on, with courage stout—

Play the game!

In the battlefield of men

There'll come trying moments when

You shall lose the verdict—then

Play the game!

There's an umpire who shall say

You have missed your greatest play,

And shall dash your hopes away—

Play the game!

You must bow unto his will

Though your chance it seems to kill,

And you think he erred, but still

Play the game!

For the Great Umpire above

Sees what we see nothing of,

By His wisdom and His love—

Play the game!

Keep your faith in Him although
