Matthew 21:19: The Christian who to Christ aifords
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
The Christian who to Christ aifords
Mere, fruitless, impotent desires,
Or the fair leaves of barren words.
His Lord's severest curse requires,'
The curse of withering as a tree
Dried up to all eternity.
O may we tremble at their doom
From whom the Lord withdraws His grace.
And watch, and labour till He come,
To seek in us true righteousness,
And strive our fruitfulness to prove
By all the works of humble love.
