Matthew 20:9: Heaven is for all alike prepared

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Heaven is for all alike prepared,
And one short moment may suffice
To win ihe infinite reward
To' ensure the never-fading prize:
But let not the presumptuous fool
Repentance to the last defer;
Nor let a poor despairing soul
Of mercy even in death despair.
