Luke 12:42: Goods and time, and gifts, and grace
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)
Goods and time, and gifts, and grace
And life, are not my own.
Nothing I from Christ possess
But for His use alone:
In His family employ'd,
A steward of His mysteries I
Daily with the word of God
His people's wants supply.
Master, Lord, on me confer
The tender zeal of love.
Then I shall my faithful care
Over Thy church approve.
Gladly all my talents spend,
With constant, wise fidelity
Serve Thy people to the end
And live and die for Thee.
