| Text: | Holiness and Grace |
1 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 deny'd,
Passion and envy, lust and pride!
While justice, temperance, truth, and love,
Our inward piety approve.
4 Religion bears our spirits up,
While we expect that blessed hope,
The bright appearance of the Lord,
And faith stands leaning on his word.
