English poem
HYMN XXVII. Holiness and Grace, Tit. ii.10—13
by Anonymous
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 honours of our Saviour God; When the salvation reigns within And grace subdues the power of sin.
Our flesh and sense must be deny'd, 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 blessed hope, The bright appearance of the Lord, And faith stands leaning on his word.
