[The world an outward temple praise]
Master, see what manner of stones, &c.
—xiii. 1.
The world an outward temple praise,
Magnific, such as worms can raise,
The' effect of human art,
With lofty battlements and towers;
But God, whose thoughts are not as ours,
Regards a humble heart.

But God, whose thoughts are not as ours,
Regards a humble heart.
A humble heart He makes His shrine,
Hallow'd by charity Divine,
A house of praise and prayer,
Where God is loved, revered, adored,
A living temple of the Lord
For ever present there.
