Religion
2 Samuel 6:14: He laid his purple robes aside
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
He laid his purple robes aside.
Nor shame, nor diminution fear'd.
Put off the pomp of regal pride.
And servant of the ark appear'd;
In holy services Divine
That we might all our strength employ,
Might body, soul, and spirit join.
And dance before the Lord for joy.
