<p class="poetry">Lean on thyself until thy strength is tried;<br/>
Then ask God’s help; it will not be denied.</p>
<p class="poetry">Use thine own sight to see the way to go;<br/>
When darkness falls ask God the path to show.</p>
<p class="poetry">Think for thyself and reason out thy plan;<br/>
God has His work and thou hast thine, oh, man.</p>
<p class="poetry">Exert thy will and use it for control;<br/>
God gave thee jurisdiction of thy soul.</p>
<p class="poetry">All thine immortal powers bring into play;<br/>
Think, act, strive, reason, then look up and pray.</p>
