WALK TN THE LIGHT

"Whatsoever ye do in word or deed,

Do all in the Name of the Lord Jesus,

Giving thanks to God the Father by Him;

And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily,

As unto the Lord and not unto men."

"When you think, when you speak, when you read, when you write,

When you sing, when you walk, when you seek for delight;

To be kept from all evil at home and abroad,

Live always as under the ‘eye’ of the Lord.

"What ever you think both in joy and in woe,

Think nothing you would not want Jesus to know;

Whatever you say, in a whisper or clear,

Say nothing you would not like Jesus to hear.

"Whatever you read, though the page may allure,

Read nothing of which you are perfectly sure

Consternation at once would be seen in you look

If God should say solemnly, ‘Show me that book!’

"Whatever you write, in haste or with heed,

Write nothing you would not like Jesus to read;

Whatever you sing, in the midst of your glees,

Sing nothing that God’s listening ear could displease.

"Wherever you go, never go where you fear

God’s question being asked you, ‘What doest thou here?’

Whatever the pastimes in which you engage,

For the cheering of youth or the solace of age;

Turn away from each pleasure you’d shrink from pursuing

Were God to look down and ask, ‘What are you doing’
