Matthew 25:24: He never knew his Lord aright
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Religion
He never knew his Lord aright
Who thinks Him rigorous and austere,
AVho thinks our God can take delight
In mocking His poor creatures here.
Deny to most His special grace,
Impossibilities require,
And doom the non-performing race.
As Sovereign, to eternal fire.
