Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and Prayers, for Public and Private Worship #203 (1845) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Hymnal Title: A Collection of Hymns and Prayers, for Public and Private Worship First Line: Mistaken souls, that dream of heav'n Lyrics: 1 Mistaken souls, that dream of heav’n,
And make their empty boast
Of inward joys and sins forgiv’n,
While they are slaves to lust!
2 Vain are our fancies, airy flights,
If faith be cold and dead;
None but a living pow'r unites
To Christ, the living Head:--
3 A faith that changes all the heart;
A faith that works by love;
That bids all sinful joys depart,
And lifts the thoughts above.
4 Faith must obey her Father’s will,
As well as trust his grace:
A pard'ning God requires us still
To perfect holiness. Topics: Holy Spirit Faith Languages: English
