In vain religion we profess,
While we reject the Lord’s command;
Strangers to God and happiness,
We build our house upon the sand.
The humblest have the clearest light,
Who make the Lord their only stay,
Our knowledge then is sound and right,
When we repent, believe, obey.
A saving knowledge will increase,
And holy fruits our progress show,
Humility, and love, and peace,
Will with the ripening judgement grow.
Yet still we see but darkly here,
And imperfections shade our way;
But Christ our sun will soon appear,
And usher in eternal day.
