Author: Watts Hymnal: Church Book #389 (1890) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: Church Book Lyrics: 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.
2 Thus shall we best proclaim abroad
The honors of our Saviour God;
When His salvation reigns within,
And grace subdues the power of sin.
3 Our flesh and sense must be denied,
Passion and envy, lust and pride;
While justice, temperance, truth and love
Our inward piety approve.
4 Religion bears our spirits up,
While we expect that blessed hope,
The bright appearance of the Lord,
And faith stands leaning on His Word. Topics: The Christian Life Holiness; Lent, Third Sunday; Sixty Sunday after Trinity; Seventeenth Sunday after Trinity; Twenty Third Sunday after Trinity Languages: English Tune Title: HAMBURG
