GARMENTS NEW AND OLD

Maxine Le Pelley

Away with garments that are worn.
Outmoded, shabby, faded, torn!

For who would here accumulate
The threadbare and the out-of-date?

And on with garments Truth has made!
Forever fresh, they cannot fade.

Unchanging modes—impeccable—
So free of garish trim or frill;

Originals, of Love's design,
Simplicity in every line.

Mistaken sense we must forsake,
The faulty reasoning, the fake.

O clothe us, Love, in faultless law
In Christly robes without a flaw.
