God is a Spirit, just and wise

Author: Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 156 hymnals Scripture: Joel 2:13 Lyrics: 1 God is a Spirit, just and wise He sees our inmost mind; In vain to heaven we raise our cries, And leave our souls behind. 2 Nothing but truth before his throne With honor can appear; The painted hypocrites are known Through the disguise they wear. 3 Their lifted eyes salute the skies, Their bended knees the ground; But God abhors the sacrifice Where not the heart is found. 4 Lord, search my thoughts, and try my ways, And make my soul sincere; Then shall I stand before thy face, And find acceptance there.
