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.

Thus shall we best pro­claim abroad
The hon­ors of our Sav­ior God,
When the sal­va­tion reigns with­in,
And grace sub­dues the pow­er of sin.

Our flesh and sense must be de­nied,
Passion and en­vy, lust and pride;
While jus­tice, tem­per­ance, truth, and love,
Our in­ward pi­ety ap­prove.

Religion bears our spir­its up,
While we ex­pect that bless­èd hope,
The bright ap­pear­ance of the Lord,
And faith stands lean­ing on His Word.
