Text:O thou who hast Thy servants taught
Author:Henry Alford
Tune:LANCASTER

28. O thou who hast Thy servants taught

1 O Thou, who hast Thy servants taught,
That not by words alone,
But by the fruits of holiness,
The life of God is shown:

2 While in Thy house of prayer we meet,
And call Thee God and Lord,
Give us a heart to follow Thee,
Obedient to Thy word!

3 Through all the dangerous paths of life,
Uphold us as we go;
That with our lips, and in our lives,
Thy glory we may show.
