Pure Religion
Ross Jutsum

Pure religion undefiled before our God and Father,
Pure religion from the heart draws us all together.
Visit orphans in their grief, widows in distress.
Keep unspotted from the world, grow in righteousness.

Ev'ry good and pleasant gift, it comes from God above,
Coming from the Lord of Lights, from the God of love:
Of His own will brought us forth, by His Word commands,
Leads us by His perfect truth, first fruits of His plan.
