[Happy whom God vouchsafes to praise]
His lord said unto him, Well done, &c.
—xxv. 21.
Happy whom God vouchsafes to praise
As a wise steward of his Lord!
Faithful and good in more or less,
He wins a full immense reward:
And all the crown of life may gain,
Which freely Christ bestows on His,
And purchased by His mortal pain
Enter into their Master's bliss.

Which freely Christ bestows on His,
And purchased by His mortal pain
Enter into their Master's bliss.
How disproportionate the toil
And recompence by mercy given,
When Christ doth on His servants smile,
And owns before the host of heaven!
Whate'er on earth we do or bear
With patience of unwearied love,
We count not worthy to compare
With all that rapturous joy above.
