How Long, Ye Sons of Men?

How long

ye sons of men

will ye

The serv­ant of the Lord des­pise

Delight your­selves with va­ni­ty

And trust in re­fuges of lies?

Know that the Lord hath set ap­art

The god­ly man in ev­ery age;

He loves a meek and low­ly heart;

His people are His her­it­age.

Then stand in awe

nor dare to sin;

Commune with your own heart

be still:

The Lord re­quir­eth truth with­in

The sac­ri­fice of mind and will.
