In vain they worship glittering dust, And pray to gold in vain. 6 [Their gods have tongues that speechless prove, Such as their makers gave; Their feet were never form'd to move, Nor hands have power to save. 6 Blind are their eyes, their ears are deaf, Nor hear when mortals pray; Mortals that wait for their relief, Are blind and deaf as they.] 7 Ye nations, know the living God, Serve him with faith and fear; He makes the churches his abode, And claims your honours there.
