[Through zeal for piety sincere]

He that receiveth a righteous man in the name, &c. —x. 41.

Through zeal for piety sincere
I would receive, esteem, embrace
Thine every pious worshipper,
Who follows after righteousness:
Jesus, I make Thy brethren mine,
And serve in love's simplicity,

Till from those gracious lips Divine
I hear “Ye did it unto Me!”
