1 God's law demands one living faith,
And not a crowd of lifeless creeds;
Its warrant is a firm "God saith;"
Its claim not words, but living deeds.
2 Yet, Lord, forgive thy holy law
Grows tarnished in our earthly clasp;
Pure in itself, without a flaw,
It dims in our too worldly grasp.
3 Forgive the sacrilege, and take
From every soul the unholy stain,
And help us for thy Son's dear sake,
To keep thy perfect law again.
