Matthew 13:12: Whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken, &c

Religion

Why is my heart so dark and void,
And hardly feels its loss?
I have not what I once enjoy'd,
I am not what I was:
With Christ my suffering Lord one hour
I would not watch and pray.
And therefore He withdrew the power,
And took His gifts away.
S. MattJicw xiii. lo — 15.
