Practise Better Than Preaching

PRAYERS will not save a sinner Unless they are linked with deeds That shall help to raise the fallen, And touch their bitter needs.
You may preach on a thousand Sabbaths; But as long as you turn away From the poor souls all about you, What use to preach or pray?
Go to the sinful and needy, Give them a helping hand; Practise is better than preaching For them to understand.
The prayers of the whole world's preachers, The sighs of all its saints, Unless good deeds go with them, Will never reach sin’s complaints.
