[In vain with angry hearts we dare]

First be reconciled to thy brother, and then come, &c. —v. 24.

In vain with angry hearts we dare
Nigh to Thine altar move,
Since neither sacrifice, nor prayer
Atones for want of love:
O may we each with each agree
Through Thine uniting grace,
Our gift shall then accepted be,
Our life of love and praise.
