James Whitcomb Riley - Just To Be Good

James Whitcomb Riley - Just To Be Good

Just to be good-- br This is enough--enough! br O we who find sin's billows wild and rough, br Do we not feel how more than any gold br Would be the blameless life we led of old br While yet our lips knew but a mother's kiss? br Ah! though we miss br All else but this, br To be good is enough! br br It is enough-- br Enough--just to be good! br To lift our hearts where they are understood; br To let the thirst for worldly power and place br Go unappeased; to smile back in God's face br With the glad lips our mothers used to kiss.
