Do no sin­ful action,
Speak no an­gry word;
Ye be­long to Je­sus,
Children of the Lord.

Christ is kind and gen­tle,
Christ is pure and true;
And His lit­tle child­ren
Must be ho­ly, too.

There’s a wick­ed spi­rit
Watching round you still,
And he tries to tempt you
To all harm and ill.

But ye must not hear him,
Though ’tis hard for you
To re­sist the ev­il,
And the good to do.

For ye pro­mised tru­ly,
In your in­fant days,
To re­nounce him whol­ly,
And for­sake his ways.

Ye are newborn Chris­tians,
Ye must learn to fight
With the bad with­in you,
And to do the right.

Christ is your own mas­ter,
He is good and true,
And His lit­tle child­ren
Must be ho­ly, too.
