By William Drummond (1585–1649)Faith without Works
| AS body when the soul has fled, | |
| As barren trees decayed and dead, | |
| Is faith, a hopeless lifeless thing, | |
| If not of righteous deeds the spring. | |
| One cup of healing oil and wine, | 5 |
| One tear-drop shed on Mercy’s shrine, | |
| Is thrice more grateful, Lord, to Thee, | |
| Than lifted eye or bended knee. | |
