Matthew 25:2: Happy they and truly wise
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Religion
Happy they and truly wise
Who for that day prepare.
Ready at Thy call to rise,
And meet Thee in the air:
Fools in misery they live
Who bear the Christian name in vain,
Seldom seek and never strive
Eternal life to gain.
