Holiness and Grace

Verse 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.

Verse 2

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

Verse 3

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

Verse 4

Devotion bears our Spirits up, While we expect that blessed hope, The bright appearance of the Lord, And faith stands leaning on his Word.
