5 But self, however well employ'd,
Has its own ends in view;
And says, as boasting Jehu cried,
"Come, see what I can do."

6 Self may its own reward obtain,
And be applauded here;

But zeal the best applause will gain,
When Jesus shall appear.

7 This idol self, O LORD, dethrone,
And from our hearts remove;

1

And let no zeal by us be shown,
But that which springs from love.

731.

Common Metre. RICHARDS, varied.
Zeal of the Lord of Hosts.

ZE

EAL of the LORD of hosts! thy zeal,
Zealous to finish sin,

Shall of transgressions make an end,

And righteousness bring in.

2 Yes! righteousness divine, complete, The righteousness of GOD,

Which saves the guilty, trembling soul, Through faith in Jesus' blood.

3 And will that GOD, who gave his son,
Refuse this faith to give?

Shall not the conqu'ror of the tomb
Cause all the world to live?
