Bible 1 John 4:7-2
Chanting devotions, casting out evil is man’s prayer,
To bypass but void fewer,
With vain, selfish pride and deed
To attain but the primordial seed.
Hands delved not deep in service,
Manly folly decants but disservice;
Lips to lung touching voice
Is but a man’s seeming choice.
Tho’ prone to all discontent of the soul we seek
God with saintly heart and prayerful lips,
Silent deep we go in thought
But in love alone there is god.
