“Walk worthy of the Lord.” Col. 1. 10; Eph. 4. 1

1 Ye souls, redeemed with blood,
  And called by grace divine,
  Walk worthy of your God,
  And let your conduct shine;
  Keep Christ, your living Head, in view,
  In all you say, in all you do.

2 Has Jesus made you free?
  Then you are free indeed;
  Ye sons of liberty,
  Ye chosen royal seed,
  Walk worthy of your Lord, and view
  Your glorious Head, in all you do.

3 Shall sons of heavenly birth
  Their dignity debase?
  Unite with sons of earth,
  And take a servant’s place?
  The slaves to sin and Satan too?
  Forget to keep their Lord in view?

4 Forbid it, mighty God!
  Preserve us in thy fear;
  Uphold with staff and rod,
  And guard from every snare;
  Teach us to walk with Christ in view,
  And honour him in all we do.

5 Increase our faith and love,
  And make us watch and pray;
  O fix our souls above,
  Nor let us ever stray;
  Dear Lord, do thou our strength renew,
  And lead us on with Christ in view.
