Religion

Isaiah 1:11: To what purpose s the multitude of your, &c

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

What profit your religious shows.
Your empty form of godliness?
Externals may on man impose.
But cannot a pure Spirit please;
Fit worship for an holy God,
As fat of lambs, and bullocks' blood!
