Religion
Matthew 3:10: Ye high in gifts, who lift your head
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Religion
Ye high in gifts, who lift your head.
As trees their leafy honours spread,
Ye barren souls who flourish fair.
And words in large abundance bear,
If still ye want the humble root,
If still ye bear no gracious fruit.
The righteous axe ye soon shall feel,
Cut down to feed the flames of hell.
