498. Do no sinful action

1 Do no sinful action;
speak no angry word;
you belong to Jesus,
children of the Lord.

2 Christ is kind and gentle,
Christ is pure and true,
and His little children
must be holy too.

3 There’s a wicked spirit
watching round you still,
and he tries to tempt you
to all harm and ill.

4 But you must not hear him,
though it's hard for you
to resist the evil,
and the good to do.

5 Christ is your own master,
He is good and true,
and His little children
must be holy too.
