Analyze: The Mouth of Fools Doth God Confess

by Kingo, Thomas Hansen (1634-1703), tr. Rygh, George Alfred Taylor (1860-1942)

Song Lyrics

1. The mouth of fools doth God con- fess, But while their lips draw nigh Him, Their heart is full of wick- ed- ness, And all their deeds de- ny Him. Co- rrupt are they, and ev- ery one A- bom- in- ab- le works hath done; There is not one well- do- er.

2. The Lord looked down from his high tow'r On all man- kind be- low Him, To see if an- y owned His pow'r, And tru- ly sought to know Him; Who all their un- der- stand- ing bent To search His ho- ly Word, in- tent To do his will in earn- est.

3. But none there was who walked with God, For all a- side had slid- den, De- lu- sive paths of fol- ly trod, And fo- llowed lusts for- bid- den; Not one there was who prac- ticed good, And yet they deemed, in haugh- ty mood, Their deeds must sure- ly please Him.

4. How long, by fol- ly blind- ly led, Will ye op- press the need- y, And eat my peo- ple up like bread? So fierce are ye, and greed- y! In God they put no trust at all, Nor will on Him in trou- ble call, But be their own pro- vi- ders.

5. There- fore their heart is ne- ver still, A fall- ing leaf dis- mays them; God is with him who doth His will, Who trusts him and o- beys Him; But ye the poor man's hope des- pise, And laugh at him, e'en when he cries, That God is his sure com- fort.
