Should we our members yield

Verse 1

Should we our members yield? To act unrighteousness; Who have the will of God reveal'd, And his dear name profess.

Verse 2

Yet once it was our case, We were to sine enslav'd-- But by a wond'rous act of grace: Renew'd again and sav'd.

Verse 3

We dare not yield to sin, Tho' grace to us abounds-- Lest we enslave ourselves again, And mock the Saviours wounds.

Verse 4

How much could we be blam'd, To nourish such a root? Whose growth would make us feel ashamed When once it shews it fruit.

Verse 5

Rewards of sin is death, Of body and of soul; But every true believer hath, That which can make him whole.

Verse 6

Life is the gift of God, For Jesus sake 'tis giv'n. The shedding of the Saviour's blood, Will make them heirs of heav'n.
