Mouth And Heart? - OT/NT Series 10

Tune: Doncaster

(\'Put thou thy trust in God\')

Matthew 15 v.1-9 parts

********

You hypocrites, well did

Isaiah* say, not hid

Said Jesus to scribes, Pharisees

The prophecy agrees

 

Which says, This people draw

Near to me, the Lord sure

Draw near with their mouth, and honour

Me with their lips demure

 

But their heart far it be

From me, but in vain, see

They do worship me, teaching for

Doctrines a worldly cure

 

For they teach, do make more

Of commands of men, for

They put aside God\'s commands, they

Trust to tradition\'s ways

-----

* Isaiah 29 v.13, though Isaiah himself does not actually say \'hypocrites\'.
