Sincerity and truth

Author: Dr. Watts Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCLXXXII (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Graces of the Spirit Sincerity; Sincerity and truth; Truth and sincerity First Line: Let those who bear the Christian name Lyrics: 1 Let those who bear the christian name Their holy vows fulfill: The saints, the followers of the lamb, Are men of honor still. 2 True to the solemn oaths they take, Tho' to their hurt they swear: Constant and just to all they speak, For God and angels hear. 3 Still with their lips their hearts agree, Nor flattering words devise: They know the God of truth can see Thro' every false disguise. 4 They hate the appearance of a lie, In all the shapes it wears; Firm to the truth—and when they die, Eternal life is theirs. 5 Lo! from afar the Lord descends, And brings the judgment down; He bids his saints, hi faithful friends, Rise and possess their crown. 6 While satan trembles at the sight, And devils wish to die, Where will the faithless hypocrite And guilty liar fly?

And all thy Judgments just; For ever sure thy Promise, Lord, And Men securely trust. 4 My gracious GOD, how plain Are thy Directions giv'n! O may I never read in vain, But find the Path to Heav'n. Pause. 5 I hear thy Word with Love, And I would fain obey; Send thy good Spirit from above To guide me, lest I stray. 6 O who can ever find The Errors of his Ways? Yet with a bold, presumptuous Mind I would not dare transgress. 7 Warn me of ev'ry Sin, Forgive my secret Faults, And cleanse this guilty Soul of mine, Whose Crimes exceed my Thoughts. 8 While with my Heart and Tongue I spread thy Praise abroad; Accept the Worship and the Song, My Saviour and my GOD.
