What Mean Ye by This Service?

By Max Hill

Why goest thou unto the house of prayer? What findest thou to edify thee there? What do its walls to thy affections mean? Why is thy face within its portals seen?— What mean ye by this service?
O child of God, let not thy service be That men, not God, may thy devotions see; Drift thou not downward with the flowing tide, Let not within men’s hearts the thought abide, What mean ye by this service?
But O be faithful, child of God, be true, Thy consecration constantly renew; Go thou within the house of prayer with praise, Thy voice to God in adoration raise;— This be thy only service.
MAX HILL.
