630. What! never speak one evil word

1 What! never speak one evil word,
Or rash, or idle, or unkind?
O, how shall I, most gracious Lord,
This mark of true perfection find?

2 Thy sinless mind in me reveal;
Thy Spirit's plenitude impart;
And all my spotless life shall tell
That thou hast purified my heart.
