[Howe'er in humble words we all]

No doubt but ye are the people, &c. —xii. 2.

Howe'er in humble words we all
Infallibility disclaim,
Yet every church and party call
Themselves, the consort of the Lamb!
“In us the saints, the people see,
The temple of the Lord are we!
“We are the men, mankind must own,
Who faith and purity possess,
Christ is with us, and us alone,”
A thousand jarring sects profess,
And all the Babel-builders cry,
“Wisdom and truth with us shall die.”
