Idolatry which tempts my every turn
\nWhat is the cure? What standard can I raise?
\nThere is no hope for me if I can\u2019t learn
\nTo place in thee my hope and all my praise
\nTis ye, who formed the world and made our home
\nTis ye, whose praise alone we all must sing
\nTis ye, who when humanity did roam
\nTook on our form and died to take death\u2019s sting
\nAnd still we cannot praise thee as we ought
\nOur hearts, impure, will find another tune
\nHelp us to claim the victory you bought
\nAnd sing our praise to thee who\u2019s coming soon
\nIn thee there is no shadow, turn, or bend
\nOur father, help us love thee \u2019till the end<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
