[Nay; but His seed He often sows]

Reaping where thou hast not sown, &c. —xxv. 24.

Nay; but His seed He often sows
In hearts that yield Him no increase,
And gathers where His grace He strows,
No kindly fruits of righteousness:
A power his talent to improve
To every child of man He gave;
And all may serve the God of love,
And yield, that Christ their souls should save.
