Matthew 20:7: Till Jesus come to seek and send

Till Jesus come to seek and send.
Till us He in His work employs,
Our days in vanity we spend.
In useless cares or sinful joys:
But saving grace to all appears,
But mercy wills that all should live,
And young or old, the soul that hears
The call, shall the reward receive.

Alas, shall I stand idle still.
In sin, in Satan's works employ'd.
Or now begin to serve Thy will,
And labour for my gracious God?
Hired long ago I surely was
At /orda?i's consecrated flood.
And sign'd the servant of Thy cross
And claim'd the purchase of Thy blood.
