Consistency

Verse 1

Watch'd by the world’s malignant eye, Who load us with reproach and shame: As servants of the Lord most high, As zealous for his glorious name, We ought in all his paths to move, With holy fear and humble love.

Verse 2

That wisdom, Lord, on us bestow, From every evil to depart; To stop the mouth of every foe, While, upright both in life and heart, The proofs of godly fear we give, And shew them, how the Christians live.
