Lyics

So let your lips and lives express,

The holy gospel you profess,

So let your works and virtue 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, temperance, truth, and love,

Your inward piety approve.



Religion bears your spirits up,

While you expect that blessed hope--

The 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.
