While they most clearly show

Sad proof of ruin blight:
From whence have they their title deeds?
Pray, which of them is right?

Not one of them I see.

The Word of God declares;
And ‘gainst this principle so plain
Its testimony bears.

To the Gospel a hindrance sad.

For Isaiah doth sharply declare
Such thoughts of union in compromise
Will only end in despair.

All full of life divine;
And not with brick, or sand, or silt
Of Babylonish slime.

But where the two or three
In fellowship to Jesus bow—
There He will surely be.

Selecting whom He will,
Should mark the place in which
His grace is manifested still.

The holiest of all.

Teach in the Sunday school,

God surely will reject;
For till you’re saved, nothing you bring
Will garner His respect.

‘Tis Christ alone you need—
Not worship, service, sacrament,
Nor chapel, church, nor creed.

To worship now begin.
For you, there’s entrance through the blood
The holiest within.

Re-echo far and wide
When joyful saints away will bound
In bodies glorified!

Shall own before His judgment seat
Jesus, “the name,” the Lord.

And own Him Lord and King.
