LyicsMistaken souls, that dream of heaven,
And make their empty boast
Of inward joys and sins forgiven,
While they are slaves to lust.
How vain are all our fancy's flights,
If faith be cold and dead!
None but a Living power unites
To Christ, the living head.
Tis faith that purifies the heart;
Tis faith that works by love,
That bids all sinful joys depart,
And lifts the thoughts above.
This faith shall ev'ry fear control
By its celestial power;
With holy triumph fill the soul
In death's approaching hour.
