[Is it, great God, to honour Thee]
But now I forbear, lest any man should think, &c.
—xii. 6.
Is it, great God, to honour Thee,
That men their glorious state declare,
Void of the godly jealousy,
The lowly self-mistrusting fear?
No, their own praises they repeat,
And incense burn to their own net.
That men their glorious state declare,
Void of the godly jealousy,
The lowly self-mistrusting fear?
No, their own praises they repeat,
And incense burn to their own net.
No dread have they, lest men should prize,
Or glory to the creature give;
They let the people sacrifice,
Their incense of applause receive,
Patient to be admired by all,
And self-assured they cannot fall!
Or glory to the creature give;
They let the people sacrifice,
Their incense of applause receive,
Patient to be admired by all,
And self-assured they cannot fall!
