Here a true specimen we see

Verse 1
Here a true specimen we see,
A church in its integrity
Call’d by the gospel-word,
Distinguish’d from the sinful race,
By faith, and the baptismal grace
Grafted into its Lord.

Verse 2
Inspir’d, and actuated by love
To set their hearts on things above
By Jesus’ Spirit led,
In fellowship of every kind
Compacted close, and disciplin’d
By hypocrites struck dead.
