LyicsLET those who bear the Christian name,
Their holy vows fulfil;--
The saints-the followers of the Lamb,
Are men of honor still.
True to the solemn oaths they take,
Though to their hurt they swear,
Constant and just to all they speak-
For God and angels hear.
Still with their lips their hearts agree,
Nor flat'ring words devise;
They know the God of truth can see
Through ev'ry false disguise.
They hate th' appearance of a lie,
In all the shapes it wears,
Firm to the truth; and, when they die,
Eternal life is theirs.
