[Saviour, remove the vanity]
Let not thy left hand know what thy right hand, &c.
—vi. 3.
Saviour, remove the vanity,
Which poisons all I do for Thee,
O make me studious to conceal
What boastful nature would reveal;
My good be to the world unknown,
Or publish'd for Thy praise alone.
Which poisons all I do for Thee,
O make me studious to conceal
What boastful nature would reveal;
My good be to the world unknown,
Or publish'd for Thy praise alone.
A time, I know there is to' obey,
And act for God in open day:
O that I then with single eye
Thee, only Thee may glorify,
The least in my own eyes appear,
And always pray and always fear!
And act for God in open day:
O that I then with single eye
Thee, only Thee may glorify,
The least in my own eyes appear,
And always pray and always fear!
