[Though God in Christ reveal]

Whosoever hath not, from him shall, &c. —viii. 18.

Though God in Christ reveal
Our sins through faith removed,

171

We lose the talent we conceal,
The blessing unimproved;
Not labouring after more
Abundant righteousness,
Stripp'd of our former peace and power,
We forfeit all our grace.
