Matthew 5:48: Be ye...perfect. — Ye shall be perfect., &c

WouLDST Thou require what cannot be?
The thing impossible to me
Is possible with God:
I trust Thy truth to make me just.
The' omnipotence of love I trust.
The virtue of Thy blood.

Perfection is my calling's prize,
To which on duty's scale I rise;
And when my toils are pass'd.
And when I have the battle won.
Thou in Thy precious Self alone
Shalt give the prize at last.
