Not in deception or disguise

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Not in deception or disguise Must christians fast or pray; But take their blessed Lord's advice, Which is a diff'rent way. 2 The heart with godly sorrow fill'd, Need never make a show; Their state of mind will be reveal'd In all they at and do. 3 They who are well convinc'd of sin, Will feel a deep distress; Yet differ not from other men, In their external dress. 4 Their fastings, pray'r and abstenence, Are fervent, and sincere; They will not act with mere pretence, Sad countenance to wear. 5 God will not pay a true regard, To such a borrow'd face; Nor grant the future great reward To those who mock his grace. 6 The Lord is not to be deceiv'd, All things are in his view; Our pray'rs by him are not receiv'd, Unless our hearts be true. Topics: Ash-Wednesday Scripture: Matthew 6:16-21
