Matthew 13:18: Hear ye, to whom your God imparts

Religion

Hear ye, to whom your God imparts
The ear that hears, the eye that sees.
His truth discovers to your hearts,
And all His gospel mysteries:
With means abundantly supplied.
While others still in darkness stray,
The Spirit is your faithful guide.
The Word Himself marks out your way.

Conscious from whom your blessings flow,
Your faith's integrity approve.
By practising the truths ye know.
By humble zeal, and fervent love,
By all your God vouchsafes to give
Show forth the heavenly Giver's praise,
Only to spread His kingdom live,
And die to glorify His grace.
