Luke 4:8: Him only shall thou serve
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)
Religion
The great, the' ambitious, and the proud
Still, like the world's usurping god,
Our adoration claim;
liut who our heavenly King obey,
Worship Divine to Christ we pay,
And bow to Jesus' name.
Yet ah! how few His kingdom own.
Worship and serve the Lord alone
As angels do above!
That all may only Thee adore,
Jesus, on all bestow the power
Thee, only Thee to love.
