[Father, make good Thy word of grace]

He shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge, &c. —iii. 3.

Father, make good Thy word of grace,
And purify the priestly race
Who minister in things divine,

131

Out of their hearts the dross remove,
Their worldly care, and worldly love;
As silver and as gold refine.
So shall their pure oblations please,
While clothed with Jesu's righteousness
They bring their offering to the throne,
Present the virgin pure and clean,
The church redeem'd from inbred sin,
The spotless consort of Thy Son.
