Mark 13:1: The wo;ld an outward temple praise
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)
The wo;ld an outward temple praise,
Magnific, such as worms can raise,
The' efifect of human art,
With lofty battlements and towers;
But God, whose thoughts are not as ours,
Regards a humble heart.
A humble heart He makes His shrine,
Hallow'd by charity Divine,
A house of praise and prayer.
Where God is loved, revered, adored,
A living temple of the Lord
For ever present there.
