SO let our lips and lives express The holy Gospel we profess; So let our works and virtues shine, To prove the doctrine all divine. |

2 | Thus shall we best proclaim abroad The honours of our Saviour God, When His salvation reigns within, And grace subdues the power of sin. |

3 | Our flesh and sense must be denied, Passion and envy, lust and pride; While justice, temperance, truth and love Our walk of righteousness approve. |
||
4 | The Gospel bears our spirits up, While we expect that blessèd hope, The bright appearing of the Lord; And faith stands leaning on His Word. |

Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 |
