Matthew 19:27: A Proud philosopher forsakes
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Religion
A Proud philosopher forsakes
His all, but doth not Christ pursue,
A Christian false the Saviour takes
For Guide, but keeps the world in view;
A Christian saved to find his Lord
His all foregoes, himself denies,
And wins the hundred-fold reward.
And reigns eternal in the skies.
