Matthew 25:16: Then he that had received the five talents, &c

Happy who knows the Master's will,
His talents faithfully improves,
Exerts his utmost strength and skill,
To serve and please the God he loves:
His strength and skill are not his own,
His zeal industrious he receives,
And all the praise to Christ alone
Of talents, and their use he gives.

Who is that servant good and wise
That trades with most assured success?
The man who life and strength employs
To' advance the cause of godliness:
With gifts of nature or of grace
With learning or with wit endow'd
With wealth or power; in every place
He spends them all to serve his God.
