A Hymn: Bridle Your Tongue
Singing and composing hymns and other songs have been part of my life since my teenage days
Composer’s Foreword
I am not good in notes, but from the local church trainings while in choir, I have come around with this hymn using another hymn. If you know the hymn beneath, then you can join me to sing this song unto the Lord.
CGS 486 # When you start for the land of heavenly rest @ Quand tu pars pour la Cité du vrai repos
The Composed Song
1. Even as thou walk on in journey of faith
Thou even have to bridle thine tongue
So that thine religion ‘ll be acceptable
Thou even have to bridle thine tongue
Chorus/Refrain
Whoever that bridleth not his tongue
His religion is even in vain
The one that seeketh even to be perfect
Has to even bridle his tongue
2. And if thou even willeth to be perfect
Thou even have to bridle thine tongue
And then you ‘ll be able to govern thine body
Thou even have to bridle thine tongue
Chorus/Refrain
3. Tongue is a little member in the body
Thou even have to bridle thine tongue
So as not to set thine body on fire
Thou even have to bridle thine tongue
Chorus/Refrain
4. Even tongue is a fountain in our body
Thou even have to bridle thine tongue
It’s not good that a fountain produces two things
Thou even have to bridle thine tongue
Chorus/Refrain
5. Oh Lord set a watch even before my mouth
Thou even have to bridle thine tongue
Keep he door of my lips from evil words
Thou even have to bridle thine tongue
Chorus/Refrain
6. Let the word of my mouth mix with thy grace
Thou even have to bridle thine tongue
That is seasoned even with the salt of grace
Thou even have to bridle thine tongue
Chorus/Refrain
