H37. Religious Oaths

1 Let those who bear the christian name
Their holy vows fulfil;
The saints, the followers of the Lamb,
Are men of conscience still.

2 True to the solemn oaths they take,
Tho' to their hurt they swear;
Constant and just to all they speak,
For God their judge hear.

3 Still with their lips their hearts agree,
Nor perjury devise;
They know the God of truth can see
Thro' every false disguise.
