SONG 39
Make a Good Name With God
Printed Edition
1. Throughout our lifetime, We want to use each day
To make a good name And all God’s laws obey.
If in Jehovah’s sight We strive to do what’s right,
Then we will please him, To his delight.
2. This world may cause us To try to make a name,
To seek its favor, To bask in its acclaim.
But that is vanity, For if its friend we’ll be,
Jehovah’s favor, We will not see.
3. In God’s remembrance, We want our name to be
And have a good name For all eternity.
On him we can depend, So we his truth defend
And keep our good name Down to the end.
(See also Gen. 11:4; Prov. 22:1; Mal. 3:16; Rev. 20:15.)
