Matthew 19:30: The first will prove the last
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Religion
The first will prove the last.
Unless they still contend.
Their humble confidence hold fast.
And keep it to the end:
The first have well begun,
But this cannot sufiice;
The persevering grace alone
Ensures the' immortal prize.
