LyicsSo let your lips and lives express
The holy gospel you profess;
So let your works and virtues shine,
To prove the doctrine all divine.
Thus shall you best proclaim abroad
The honors of your Saviour God;
When his salvation reigns within,
And grace subdues the power of sin.
Your flesh and sense must be denied,
Passion and envy, lust and pride;
While justice, temp'rance, truth, and love,
Your inward piety approve.
Religion bears your spirits up,
While you expect that blessed hope-
And bright appearance of the Lord-
And faith stands leaning on his word.
Welcome, then, brethren of the Lord;
The rest his word and church afford
Accept, and may his grace divine,
Cause you in deeds of love to shine.
