Of inward joys, and sins forgiven,
While they are slaves to lust!
2 How vain are fancy’s airy flights,
If faith be cold and dead!
None but a living power unites
To Christ, the living Head.
3 ’Tis faith that purifies the heart;
’Tis faith that works by love;
That bids all sinful joys depart,
And lifts the thoughts above.
