7.
O, Pray'rs are heav'nly, godly! but the Lord
Destined not all the surplice here to wear;
To waste our life in one fanatic pray'r:
‘man, work and pray!’ commands His sacred word.
E'en the chaste Seraphs, circling round His throne,
Are ministers, who at His voice obey,
And as they sing his mighty glory, they
Perform his will; they do not sing alone.
