Lyics

Thus, saith the Lord, "the spacious

fields,

And flocks and herds are mine;

O'er all the cattle of the hills,

I claim a right divine.



I ask no sheep for sacrifice,

Nor bullocks, burnt with fire;

To hope and love, to pray and praise,

Are all that I require.



Invoke my name when trouble's near,

My hand shall set the free;

Then shall thy thankful lips declare

The honor due to me.

  

The man that offers humble praise,

Declares my glory best;

And those that tread my holy ways,

Shall my salvation taste."
