Luke 18:10: When to the house of prayer we go
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)
When to the house of prayer we go.
Who can our secret motive tell?
Beneath the same religious show
Our good or evil we conceal;
(iod only knows our inward parts.
The pride, or hunger of our hearts.
.: The i)roud He doth for off behold.
Hut hears the trembling sinner's prayer,
Pities a soul to Satan sold.
Who from the confines of despair
In Jesus' name for mercy cries;
nd lives— because his Saviour dies '.
