Matthew 25:18: He that hath least to do for God

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)

Religion

He that hath least to do for God,
And sunk in sloth will nothing do,
He keeps his talent unemploy'd,
His faith by works neglects to show:
His talent might another gain;
But one of small capacity,
He will not do the good he can:
Reader, is this the case with thee?
