Here in this world
to be salt and light.
Caught in between
improvise and recite.
Oh, what a pleasure;
the plot and the plight!
To be in this world
as salt and light.
The salt of the Earth,
we season the land.
Distinguishing savour,
we bear the true brand.
But if ye be tasteless,
you're good as the sand
to be trod underfoot,
and cast out overhand.
The light of the age,
He calls us to shine.
The task of his brilliance
did Jesus assign
to all who will follow
and who should decline?
Which of us hides, saying
"No, this is mine"?
So look to the city
that sets on an hill
and if ye be salted,
then salted be still.
Thirst after righteousness,
have at thy fill!
On Earth as in heaven,
make done thy good will.
