The worth of truth no tongue can tell,
‘Twill do to buy, but not to sell;
A large estate that soul has got,
Who buys, the truth and sells it not.
Truth, like a diamond, shines most fair,
More rich than pearls and rubies are,
More worth than gold and silver coin;
Oh, may it ever in us shine.
Oh, happy they, who in their youth
Are brought to know and love the truth!
For none but those whom truth makes free,
Can e’er enjoy their liberty.
Truth, like a girdle let us wear,
And always keep it clean and fair;
And never let it once be told,
That truth by us was ever sold.
