Leviticus 2:13: With all thine offerings thou shall offer salt

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)

Religion

Unsavoury all our offerings are.
Till acceptable through Thy Son:
But hear well-pleased our praise and prayer
Presented in His name alone:
The salt we borrow from our Lord,
His meritorious righteousness.
And every deed, and thought,.and word
Is season'd now with Jesu's grace.
