[Master of His own gifts, He takes]
Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John, &c.
—xvii. 1.
Master of His own gifts, He takes
His chosen up the rapturous hill,
A difference in His servants makes,
Exalts, and favours whom He will,
That none may claim his colleagues' place,
Or envy their superior grace.

That none may claim his colleagues' place,
Or envy their superior grace.
His glory He on Tabor shows
To none but the distinguish'd few,
Design'd his agonizing throes
On gloomy Olivet to view,
To' adore Him in His power and pain,
Eternal God, and mortal man.
