We call our Christian neighbours
	To worship God alone,
And place nor Christ nor Mary
	As rivals on His throne.

True, Jesus was a prophet
	Inspired to teach God's will,
And show that men no longer,
	Need Israel's law fulfil.

But God, if He had willed it,
	Could straightway have destroyed
Both him and his disciples,
	And left their places void.

And Jesus to his hearers
	Prescribed a rule divine,
Call no man Lord, but worship
	One God, your Lord and mine.

Then hold his name in honour,
	Pursue the path he trod,
Observe his worthy precepts,
	But make him not your God;

Nor list to heathen fables
	That picture him God's son,
For God was ne'er begotten,
	And He begetteth none.

When He on aught decideth,
	He saith - So let it be;
And lo! It is; for all things
	Conform to His decree.

Then all good Christian people
	Come worship God alone,
And place nor Christ nor Mary
	As rivals on His throne.
