Title:     Hymn 1:132 [So Let Our Lips And Lives Express]
Author: Isaac Watts [More Titles by Watts]

Holiness and grace, Titus 2. 10-13.

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.

[The end]
Isaac Watts's poem: Hymn 1:132 [So Let Our Lips And Lives Express]
