How many bear the Christian name,
Who live estranged from God;
External duties they perform,
And visit his abode.
Their hands defiled, their hearts unclean,
They no compunction feel,
And thoughtlessly themselves deceive,
While they their lusts conceal.
The double-minded, insincere,
Shall supplicate in vain;
The offerings they to heaven present,
Will nothing thence obtain.
No more indulge deceit and guile,
Let sin prevail no more;
For safety fly to Jesus’ blood,
And own its cleansing power.
Before the dear Redeemer’s throne,
In humble posture wait;
Cheerful his just commands obey,
And there your vows repeat.
Approach him now in faith and love,
And he’ll draw nigh to you;
Thy pure in heart will he accept,
To them his glory shew.
