Hymn: Perpetual fashion, flowery prayers
Proper 26 Year A
Matthew 23:1-12
Perpetual fashion, flowery prayers,
a show to make you blink,
the Scribes and Pharisees sought praise,
and that should make us think.
Hypocrisy had been condemned,
Christ saw another way,
of humble service, hidden gift...
Tune: AULD LANG SYNE
Twentieth Sunday after Pentecost, Matthew 23: 1-12, hymn, fashion, show, Scribes, Pharisees, hypocrisy, humility, service.
