Bm A G

grew vain, and conciev'd himself as much wiser than seven men.

[Refrain 1]

Gm F D# F

It is so with Swedenborg; he shows the folly of

Gm F D# F

churches & exposes hypocrites, till he imagines that all are

net... Now hear a plain fact;

[Verse 2]

Bm A G

Swedenborg has not written one new truth. And now hear

Bm A G

another he has written all the old falshoods. And now hear the

Bm A G

reason He conversed with Angels who are all

and an analysis of the more sublime, but no further

Bm A G

Have now another plain fact- Anyone of mechanical talents may;
