Luke 6:46: Why call ye Ale Lord, Lord, and do not, &c

What crowds acknowledge Thee their Lord,
Yet take Thy name in vain,
Neglecting to observe Thy word
They let their passions reign;
Thy daily cross they will not bear
Or their own lusts deny.
But ruled by other lords they are,
And joyfully comply.

One of the formal worldly throng
I heretofore have been.
And mock'd Thee with my lips too long.
And gave my heart to sin.
But, master'd now by sovereign grace
Thy sway I truly own,
And walk in all Thy righteous ways.
And serve my (lod alone.

My heart, my life henceforth is Thine;
I glory to fulfil
The kind commands of I/Ove Divine,
And do Thy utmost will;
The only work on earth I have
Is Thee my Lord to please,
My own and neighbour's soul to save,
And then depart in peace.
