Author: William M. Bunting Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #5825 Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. Rites cannot change the heart,
Undo the evil done,
Or with the uttered name impart
The nature of Thy Son.
2. To meet our desperate want,
There gushed a crimson flood;
O from His heart’s o’erflowing font
Baptize this soul with blood!
3. Be grace from Christ our Lord,
And love from God supreme,
By the communing Spirit poured
In a perpetual stream! Languages: English Tune Title: DENNIS
Rites Cannot Change the Heart
