Men read and admire the Gospel of Christ,
With its love so unfailing and true;
But what do they say and what do they think
Of the "Gospel according to you"?
'Tis a wonderful story, that Gospel of love,
As it shines in the Christ-life divine;
And oh, that its truth might be told yet again
In the story of your life and mine.
You who are writing each day a letter to men,
Take care that the writing is true;
'Tis the only Gospel that some men will read—
That "Gospel according to you.”
