Truth, sincerity, etc. <br /> <br />Phil. 4:8. <br /> <br />Let those who bear the Christian name <br />Their holy vows fulfil; <br />The saints, the followers of the Lamb, <br />Are men of honor still. <br /> <br />True to the solemn oaths they take, <br />Though to their hurt they swear; <br />Constant and just to all they speak, <br />For God and angels hear. <br /> <br />Still with their lips their hearts agree, <br />Nor flatt'ring words devise; <br />They know the God of truth can see <br />Through every false disguise. <br /> <br />They hate th' appearance of a lie <br />In all the shapes it wears; <br />They live in truth, and when they die, <br />Eternal life is theirs. <br /> <br />While hypocrites and liars fly <br />Before the Judge's frown, <br />His faithful friends, who fear a lie, <br />Receive th' immortal crown.<br /><br />Isaac Watts<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/hymn-35-part-2/
