How Reads Your Life-Book?

Author: C. W. Naylor Hymnal: Songs of Grace and Glory #57 (1918) First Line: The world of sinners know not God Refrain First Line: A gospel others daily see Lyrics: 1 The world of sinners know not God, Nor read the gospel true; They care not for the holy Word, But they are reading you. Refrain: A gospel others daily see, Your words and deeds inditing; Oh, what do men read in your life— In the book that you are writing? 2 Oh, are you writing deeds of love, Of holiness and grace? And do they see the peace of God Illuminate your face? [Refrain] 3 Do you desire that men shall think That God is what you say? Or that a man who lives like you Is on the narrow way? [Refrain] 4 Oh, write upon your daily page A gospel that is true, And that will lead a soul to God If he shall follow you. [Refrain] Topics: Examination; Giving Tune Title: [The world of sinners know not God]
