[Let heathens mock what God enjoin'd]

Thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward, &c. —vi. 18.

Let heathens mock what God enjoin'd,
Or fools explain away,
I find it good, I soon shall find
It glorious, to obey:
The secret fast, observed to Thee,
Who hast the precept given,
Shall openly rewarded be
With the full feast of heaven.
