Speak thou the truth: let others fence

Author: Dean Henry Alford, 1810-1871 Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Sincerity In speech and action; Sincerity In speech and action Lyrics: 1 Speak thou the truth: let others fence, And trim their words for pay; In pleasant sunshine of pretence Let others bask their day. 2 Show thou thy light: if conscience gleam, Set not thy bushel down; The smallest spark may send his beam O'er hamlet, tower, and town. 3 Hold on, hold on thou hast the rock; The foes are on the sand: The first world-tempest's ruthless shock Scatters their shifting strand; 4 While each wild gust the mist shall clear We now see darkly through, And justified at last appear The true, in Him that's true.

Thou alone my Saviour art, Teach Thy wisdom to my heart; Make me pure, Thy grace bestow, Wash me whiter than the snow. 4 Broken, humbled to the dust By Thy wrath and judgment just, Let my contrite heart rejoice And in gladness hear Thy voice; From my sins O hide Thy face, Blot them out in boundless grace.
