When, as returns this solemn day,
Man comes to meet his Maker, God,
What rites, what honours shall he pay?
How spread his sovereign�s praise abroad?
From marble domes and gilded spires
Shall curling clouds of incense rise?
And gems, and gold, and garlands deck
The costly pomp of sacrifice?
Vain, sinful man! creation�s Lord
Thy golden offerings well may spare:
But give thy heart, and thou shalt find
Here dwells a God who heareth prayer.
