219
JESUS CHRIST'S EXPOSTULATION WITH AN UNGRATEFUL WORLD.
I am all fair, yet no one loveth Me;Noble, yet no one would My servant be;
Rich, yet no suppliant at My gate appears;
Almighty, yet before Me no one fears;
Eternal, I by very few am sought;
Wise am I, yet My counsel goes for nought;
I am the Way, yet by Me walks scarce one;
The Truth, why am I not relied upon?
The Life, yet seldom one My help requires;
The True Light, yet to see Me none desires;
And I am merciful, yet none is known
To place his confidence in Me alone.
Man, if thou perish, 'tis that thou dost choose it;
Salvation I have wrought for thee, O use it!
