[In vain we offer sacrifice]

That they may offer sacrifices unto the God of, &c. —vi. 10.

In vain we offer sacrifice
To God who rules both earth and skies,
Unless our loyal hearts revere
His image and vicegerent here;
But when for conscience we obey,
Long live our king on earth, we pray,
Long live our king, and late remove
To claim his crown of life above!
