C M | B |
Watchfulness over the tongue | C |
- | |
Thus I resolved before the Lord | D |
Now will I watch my tongue | C |
Lest I let slip one sinful word | E |
Or do my neighbor wrong | F |
- | |
And if I'm e'er constrained to stay | G |
With men of lives profane | H |
I'll set a double guard that day | G |
Nor let my talk be vain | H |
- | |
I'll scarce allow my lips to speak | I |
The pious thoughts I feel | J |
Lest scoffers should th' occasion take | K |
To mock my holy zeal | J |
- | |
Yet if some proper hour appear | L |
I'll not be overawed | G |
But let the scoffing sinners hear | M |
That I can speak for God | G |
