Religion
Matthew 6:5: They have their reward
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Religion
Their reward they have, not Thine,
Human honours for Divine,
Have their aim, by man admired.
Have the thing their hearts desired:
When Thou dost as Judge appear.
Who received their portion here,
Stripp'd of all their earthly gains,
Only hell for them remains.
