Ecclesiastes 11:1: Can aught we do in faith, or give

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)

Religion

Can aught we do in faith, or give
To man, for Jesu's sake, be lost?
We shall an hundred-fold receive.
Who in Thy faithful promise trust;
The fruit of all our toils at last
Assured we are on earth to see,
Or when the days of time are pass'd,
To find it in eternity.
