[God let His vineyard out to man]
A certain man planted a vineyard . . . and let it, &c.
—xii. 1.
God let His vineyard out to man,
His rent of glory to obtain,
Told him his soul was not his own,
But made to serve his Lord alone;
He bade him feed, increase, improve
His grain of faith, his seed of love,
And stock'd him with sufficient grace
To bear the fruits of righteousness.
