All's Right (For Music)

O never despair at the troubles of life,
All's right!
In the midst of anxiety, peril, and strife!
All's right!
The cheerful philosophy never was wrong
That ever puts this on the tip of my tongue,
And makes it my glory, my strength, and my song,
All's right!

The Pilot beside us is steering us still,
All's right!
The Champion above us is guarding from ill,
All's right!
Let others who know neither Father nor Friend
Go trembling and doubting in fear to the end,-
For me, on this motto I gladly depend,
All's right!
