Religion
Matthew 20:16: So the last shall be first, and the first last, &c
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Religion
Let none presume, let none despair,
But leave it to the day supreme.
When Jesus' sentence shall declare
Who most or least resembled Him!
The heart of man to men unknown
Is only naked to Thy view:
And let it then, my Lord, be shown,
That I was of that chosen few.
