Lyics

Profess'd followers of the Lamb,
Hark to his word and praise his name;
Your bodies, if in him you trust,
Are temples of the Holy Ghost.


Let this important, solemn truth
Dwell on your minds in age and youth;
Be this your honor and your boast,
You're temples of the Holy Ghost.


As such let all your conduct be,
From lust, and pride, and folly free;
Remember what your bodies cost,
As temples of the Holy Ghost;


Let gravity and holiness,
A modest, plain and decent dress,
And Christ's bright robes adorn you most,
As temples of the Holy Ghost.


Let his examples in your view,
Be this the pattern you pursue;
Think, as his body, so your's must
Be temples of the Holy Ghost.


When the last trumpet shakes the skies,
Bright shall your bodies then arise;
And joyful join the heav'nly host,
As temples of the Holy Ghost.
