Matthew 24:42: The vigilance our I ord demands
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Religion
The vigilance our I ord demands
Asks all our time, and hearts, and hands.
Our patient toil, our active zeal,
Our utmost strife to do His will:
By faith, and penitence, and prayer.
We for that unknown hour prepare,
By reaching toward the things above.
By humblest fear and warmest love.
