Wherewith shall I approach the Lord

Hymnal: A Collection of Psalms and Hymns for Publick Worship #CXII (1789) Lyrics: 1 Wherewith shall I approach the Lord, And bow before his throne? Oh! how procure his kind regard, And for my guilt atone? 2 Shall alters flame, and victims bleed, And spicy fumes ascend? Will these my earnest wish succeed, And make my God my friend? 3 Oh! no, my soul, 'twere fruitless all, Such off'rings are in vain; No fatlings, from the field or stall, His favour can obtain. 4 To men their rights I must allow, And proofs of kindness give; To God with humble rev'rence bow, And to his glory live. 5 Hands that are clean, and hearts sincere, He never will despise; And cheerful duty he'll prefer To costly sacrifice.
