So Let Our Lips and Lives Express

Hymn 1:132. Holiness and grace, Titus 2. 10-13.

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 honours of our saviour God; When the salvation reigns within, And grace subdues the power of sin.

3 Our flesh and sense must be deny'd, 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.
