By Words and Actions 1. By words and actions we 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 power of our gracious Lord, When His salvation reigns within, And grace eradicates our sin. 3. When we confess sin's pois'nous fruit, We will as well confess its root; And not go on to sin again, Else our forgiveness is in vain. 4. But still our flesh must be denied, Its passions tend to lust and pride; But love and temp'rance,hate of sin, Reveal that Christ is form'd within.
