[How can the brethren testify]

The brethren...testified of the truth that is in, &c. —3.

How can the brethren testify
That the true faith resides in me?
On Christ if I indeed rely,
The fruits of grace will show the tree,
And all my life and actions prove
The principle of humble love.
If still I in the truth abide,
If Christ is manifest within,
I walk like Him, nor turn aside,
Till by the truth from inbred sin
Redeem'd, I feel His utmost word,
One flesh, one spirit with my Lord.
