Matthew 25:26: The harmless inoffensive man
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Religion
The harmless inoffensive man
Is cast before the bar of God,
Cast by his own excuses vain
For not performing what he could:
And, bur 'ing that preventing grace.
Who justly perish unforgiven,
Shall mix'd with fiends in groans confess
They might have sung with saints in heaven.
