No Reason To Turn Away

N-o reason to turn away, 
E-ternal life lies ahead; 
C-ries and tears shall turn
I-nto pure delight instead.
L-et not your heart turn away, 
Y-our birth has brought gladness; 
N-ineteenth day of June causes sheer happiness.

M-ake it to the journey's end, 
A-s you travel in this life; 
N-o reason to turn back, 
D-o overcome the strife.
A-llow not your mind to fret, 
P-lease God, obey His command; 
A-lways abound in faith
T-oward the promised land.
