What May I Do As A Christian?

WHEN you think, when you speak, when you read, when you write,
When you sing, when you walk, when you seek for delight;
To be kept from all wrong, when at home or abroad,
Live always as under the eye of the Lord.

Whatever you think, never think what you feel
You would blush in the presence of God to reveal;
Whatever you say, in a whisper or clear,
Say nothing you would not like Jesus to hear.

Whatever you read, though the page may allure,
His smile is upon you, be perfectly sure;
If not, then dismay would be seen in your look
If God should say unto you, "Show Me that
book."

Whatever you write, in haste or with heed,
Write nothing you would not like Jesus to read;
Whatever you sing, in the midst of your glees
Sing nothing His listening ear could displease.

Wherever you go, never go where you fear
That the Great God should ask you "How earnest thou here?"
Turn away from each pleasure you'd shrink from pursuing
If God should look down and say, "What art thou doing?" [BTS 1919]
