LyicsThus saith the Lord, "the spacious fields,
"And flocks & 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 home and love, to pray and praise,
"Are all that I require.
"Invoke my name, when trouble's near
"My hand shall set thee 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."
