"Walk worthy of the Lord"

William Gadsby • English

Primary Scripture: Matthew 5:16

Verse 1

Ye souls, redeemed with blood, And called by grace divine, Walk worthy of your God, And let your conduct shine; Keep Christ, your living Head, in view, In all you say, in all you do.

Verse 2

Has Jesus made you free? Then you are free indeed; Ye sons of liberty, Ye chosen royal seed, Walk worthy of your Lord, and view Your glorious Head, in all you do.

Verse 3

Shall sons of heavenly birth Their dignity debase? Unite with sons of earth, And take a servant’s place? The slaves to sin and Satan too? Forget to keep their Lord in view?

Verse 4

Forbid it, mighty God! Preserve us in thy fear; Uphold with staff and rod, And guard from every snare; Teach us to walk with Christ in view, And honour him in all we do.

Verse 5

Increase our faith and love, And make us watch and pray; O fix our souls above, Nor let us ever stray; Dear Lord, do thou our strength renew, And lead us on with Christ in view.
