Matthew 20:3, 4: The Master comes and speaks again

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)

Religion

The Master comes and speaks again
To sinners in their youthful prime,
Who careless in diversions vain
Idly misspend their choicest time:
Before we hear His inward call,
What can we for salvation do?
But soon or late He summons all,
And bids us work with heaven in view.
