Five things, if remembered,
Will help you each day;
Obeyed, they will keep you
From going astray;
Though Satan may tempt you
And trials betide,
You surely will conquer,
In peace will abide.
“KEEP LOOKING TO JESUS,”
He never can fail,
And walk in His footsteps
In every detail;
The world’s vain allurement
Will vanish from sight,
By “looking to Jesus,”
Your Savior and Light.
“READ DAILY YOUR BIBLE,”
If you would be strong,
To witness for Jesus,
And overcome wrong;
The author, the book, and
The doer abide;
But they who neglect it
Will surely backslide.
“PRAY, PRAY WITHOUT CEASING,”
Cleave closely to Him,
Who keeps you and fills you
With joy to the brim;
There’s nothing so great that
Our God cannot do,
And nothing so small but
He’ll undertake too.
“CONFESS HIM TO OTHERS,”
And thus you may win
Some soul from the bondage
And darkness of sin;
What help can you better
To all recommend
Than Jesus your Savior—
The needy one’s Friend?
“DO SOMETHING FOR JESUS,”
He did all for you;
Your joy find in willing
His sweet will to do.
So speak to please Him
Through life day by day,
His presence shall gladden
Each step of your way.
