Hard As Iron

L-et your decision be hard as iron, 
U-sing no abatement of severity; 
I-n the midst of doubt and fear, 
S-trong action shows your intensity. 
I-mplacable or hard as iron, 
T-he intention is truly firm; 
O-beying the Lord Almighty doesn't make your mind squirm. 

S-olid faith, hope, and love 
A-re taught after you were born; 
D-ay twenty-nine of January, 
D-etermination is hard as 
I-ron.
