[Love as generous as sincere]

There came . . . a woman having an alabaster, &c. —xxvi. 7.

Love as generous as sincere,
Not by words but actions proved,
Doth to Jesus minister,
Pours the oil on its Beloved:
Who the use of riches know,
Who a precious Christ esteem,
They their all on Him bestow,
All too mean a gift for Him.
