Hymn Lyrics www.traditionalmusic.co.uk - Christian Hymn Lyrics.  

Deluded souls! that dream of heaven 
 Deluded souls! that dream of heaven, And make their empty boast Of inward joys, and sins forgiv'n, While they are slaves to lust! 
 Vain are our fancies, vain our flights, If faith be cold and dead; None but a living power unites To Christ, the living Head. 
 The faith which new-creatcs the heart, And works by active love. Will bid all sinful joys depart, And lift the thoughts above. 
 God from the curse has set us free To make us pure within; Nor did he send his Son to be The minister of sin.
