Liberality; or the Duty and Pleasures of Benevolence

Verse 1

Oh, what stupendous mercy shines Around the majesty of heaven? Rebels he deigns to call his sons Their souls renewed, their sins forgiven.

Verse 2

Go, initiate the grace divine The grace that blazes like the sun; Hold forth your fair, though feeble light, Through all your lives let mercy run.

Verse 3

When all is done, renounce your deeds, Renounce self-righteousness with scorn: Thus will you glorify your God, And thus the Christian name adorn.
