Saints the Salt of the Earth.
1 IF Saints, O Lord, do Season all amongst whom they do Live, ⟨p. 92⟩Salt all with Grace, both Great and Small they may Sweet Relish give; 2 And blessed be thy glorious Name, in England Salt is found; Some Savoury Souls who do Proclaim thy Grace, which doth abound.
3 But O the want of Salt, O Lord, how few are Salted well; How few are like to Salt indeed, Salt thou thy Israel! 4 Now sing ye Saints who are this Salt, and let all Seasoned be With your most Holy Gracious Lives; great need of it we see.
3 But O the want of Salt, O Lord, how few are Salted well; How few are like to Salt indeed, Salt thou thy Israel! 4 Now sing ye Saints who are this Salt, and let all Season'd be With your most Holy Gracious Lives; great need of it we see.
5 The Earth will else Corrupt and Stink O Salt it well therefore, And Live to him that Salted you, and sing for evermore.
