So Let Our Lips and Lives Express

So let our lips and lives ex-press The ho-ly gos-pel we pro-fess; So let our works and vir-tues shine, To prove the doc-trine all di-vine. Thus shall we best pro-claim a-broad The hon-ors of our Sa-vior God, When His sal-va-tion reigns with-in, And grace sub-dues the power of sin. Our flesh and sense must be de-nied, Pas-sion and en-vy, lust and pride; While jus-tice, tem-perance, truth, and love, Our in-ward pi-e-ty ap-prove. Re-li-gion bears our spi-rits up, While we ex-pect that bles-sed hope, The bright ap-pear-ance of the Lord, And faith stands lean-ing on His Word.
