1 Do no sinful action,
speak no angry word;
ye belong to Jesus,
children of the Lord.

2 Christ is kind and gentle,
Christ is pure and true;
and his little children
must be holy too.

3 There’s a wicked spirit
watching round you still,
and he tries to tempt you
to all harm and ill.

4 But ye must not hear him,
though ’tis hard for you
to resist the evil,
and the good to do.

5 For ye promised truly,
in your infant days,
to renounce him wholly,
and forsake his ways.

6 Ye are new-born Christians
ye must learn to fight
with the bad within you,
and to do the right.

7 Christ is your own Master,
he is good and true,
and his little children
must be holy too.
