[With humble joy the word who hear]

These are they which are sown on good ground, &c. —iv. 20.

With humble joy the word who hear
And faithfully retain,
And practise it with zeal sincere,
The full reward they gain;
In faith they more and more increase,
In hope and patient love,
Have here their fruit to holiness,
And endless life above.
