1 Let those who bear the Christian name Their holy vows fulfil: The saints, the followers of the Lamb, Are men of honour still.
2 True to the solemn oath 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 th' appearance of a lie In all the shapes it wears; They live the truth; and, when they die, Eternal life is theirs.
5 While hypocrites and liars fly Before the Judge's frown, His faithful friends, who fear a lie, Receive th' immortal crown.
