Matthew 25:15: After His own almighty power

After His own almighty power
His riches He vouchsafed to give,
Distributing or less or more.
As each was able to receive:
Talents to some above the rest
The God of grace and nature gave:
But whoso hath obtain'd the least
Hath got a precious soul to save.

On every child of AdanCs race
His Spirit He in part conferr'd,
That each might profit by the grace,
And gain an adequate reward:
Leaving the gifts received for men
He then ascended up on high;
"Till I appear on earth again,"
(His parting word was) " Occupy!"
