Verse 1
Who after Paul and Jesus tread,
We duly to the temple go,
Thither by his own Spirit led,
We our unfeign’d devotion show:
The house we honour, not profane,
Our solemn prayers and vows repeat,
Communion with the saints maintain,
And then the King of saints we meet.
Verse 2
Our foes, the superstitious croud,
Who to the brick and mortar cleave,
The church, the church, who roar so loud,
To us both house and altar leave:
They seldom come, or not at all,
The prayers neglect, and slight the word,
Yet us the Separatists they call,
Themselves the temple of the Lord!
