Isaiah 1:15: Mv favour and good-will to gain

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Mv favour and good-will to gain.
Through all your round of forms ye run,
Service to service join in vain.
By sinful prayers for sin to' atone:
From such I turn My glorious eyes;
I hate your heartless sacrifice.
