Matthew 25:24: Nay; but His seed He often sows

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

Religion

Nay; but His seed He often sows
In hearts that yield Him no increase.
And gathers where His grace He strows.
No kindly fruits of righteousness:
A power his talent to improve
To every child of man He gave;
And all may serve the God of love,
And yield, that Christ their souls should save.
