Foul and foolish were the people,
skilled in evil more than good.
Now a prophet came among them
using words they understood.
Feigning ignorance like children,
justifying what they did,
yet we own we're little different,
words distorted, actions hid.
Verses 3-4 follow
Tune: COME REJOICE (Jubilate Hymns – Noel Tredinnick); MERTON (Monk); ALL FOR JESUS
Metre: 8.7.8.7
