Let others praise thee, not thy lips,

For self praise is so vain;

The Holy Bible teaches this, 

And makes it very plain.

Yea, he that speaketh of himself,

Is seeking his own praise;

But he that speaketh of the Lord,

In pastures green doth graze.

O clothe us Lord, we humbly pray,

With Thy humility;

And may it be, not for a day,

But for eternity.

Christ must increase, I must decrease,

Said John of long ago;

And that should be our attitude,

As through this life we go.

The route to exultation is,

Humility, my friend;

The route to be abased is pride,

Which is a dreadful sin.

Come, let us strive to ever be,

Humble in everything;

For such conduct, shall indeed,

Glorify Christ our King.
