MY LOVE TO GOD.

How shall my love to God be clearest shown? He nothing needs of all that I possess; Nothing it costs lip homage to express— In sackcloth and in ashes to lie prone— Sin in the abstract loudly to bemoan; Easy it is religion to profess, And praise and magnify Christ's righteousness; For this requires but empty breath alone. By cleaving to the truth when under ban, Striving to break Oppression's iron rod, Bearing the cross where Freedom leads the van, Shunning no path by faithful martyrs trod, And loving as myself my fellow-men— Thus clearest shall I show my love to God.
