Matthew 25:9: But the wise answered, saying. Not so; lest, &c

No; the rich in faith who most
Of Jesus' grace possess,
Chief of saints they dare not boast
Superfluous holiness;
All they can in life obtain
Will barely for themselves suffice,
Meet at last through Christ to gain
A mansion in the skies.

What would dying sinners give
To purchase charity!
Sinners when ye cease to live
On earth it cannot be;
Whither will ye turn at last.
Or which of all the saints implore?
Now your gracious day is pass'd,
And time is now no more.
