[If only with our lips we pray]
This people draweth nigh unto Me with their, &c.
—xv. 8.
If only with our lips we pray,
And want the grace within,
Our pious pains we cast away,
Our prayer is turn'd to sin:
Religion pure and undefiled
Unites the heart to God,
A God in Jesus reconciled,
Who bought us with His blood.

The power of vital piety
To me, O God, impart,
So shall I gladly render Thee
The worship of the heart:
And when to Thee alone I cleave
With smiles Thou wilt approve
And kindly through Thy Son receive
The homage of my love.
