There’s a God who’s standing at heaven’s door,
He’s looking this universe o’er;
And He sees each mortal with a searching eye,
You can’t do wrong and get by.
- Refrain:
  You can’t do wrong and get by,
  No matter how much you may try;
  Nothing hidden can be, everything He doth see,
  You can’t do wrong and get by.
Out into the darkness you alone may go,
And seeds for the wicked one sow;
There’s an eye that’s watching from the throne on high,
You can’t do wrong and get by.
Yes, He knows your secrets, everything you do,
He knows that your life is untrue;
You can ne’er deceive Him, there’s no use to try,
You can’t do wrong and get by.
