HYMN 90. Saints the Salt of the Earth.
1
If Saints, O Lord, do Season allamongst whom they do Live,
92
they may Sweet Relish give;
2
And blessed be thy glorious Name,in England Salt is found;
Some Savoury Souls who do Proclaim
thy Grace, which doth abound.
3
But O the want of Salt, O Lord,how few are Salted well;
How few are like to Salt indeed,
Salt thou thy Israel!
4
Now sing ye Saints who are this Salt,and let all Season'd be
With your most Holy Gracious Lives;
great need of it we see.
5
The Earth will else Corrupt and StinkO Salt it well therefore,
And Live to him that Salted you,
and sing for evermore.
