Tune: Doncaster
('Put thou thy trust in God')
Luke 6 v.39-42
*******
Can the blind lead the blind?
Will they the way then find?
Shall not they both fall, get nowhere
As useless things they share
'Tis spiritual blindness
This Jesus does confess
The disciples not above, see
Their master, fair it be
Why you the speck behold
In the eye, it be told
Of another, yet perceive not
Beam in own eye your lot
Or how can you say to
Another, let me, do
Take out the speck in your eye, so
Good sight you then shall know
Do you not see the beam
In your own eye, or seem
It to be imaginary
Truth is, you cannot see
It hypocritical
Cast out first the beam all
Of your own eye, then clearly you
Remove specks, cause fine view
