"Two Men Went up into the Temple to Pray. " |
390. L. M. Scott. "Two men went up into the temple to pray." 1 The uplifted eye, and bended knee, Are but vain homage, Lord, to thee; In vain our lips thy praise prolong, The heart a stranger to the song. 2 The pure, the humble, contrite mind, Sincere, and to thy will resigned, To thee a nobler offering yields, Than Sheba's groves, or Sharon's fields. 3 Love God and man -- this great command, Doth on eternal pillars stand; This did thine ancient prophets teach, And this thy Well-Beloved preach.
