[Truth will not be suppress'd]

Is a candle . . . to be put under a bushel, or, &c. —iv. 21.

Truth will not be suppress'd,
Our faith by works is shown,
Our Saviour openly confess'd
By all who Christ have known:
Christians as lamps appear,
Light to the world we give;
And if our words they will not hear,
They must behold us live.
