[He still with fix'd attention sees]

He looked up, and saw the rich men casting, &c. —xxi. 1.

He still with fix'd attention sees
The hand and heart of rich and poor:
Mark'd by no other eyes than His,
We all should His own gifts restore,
Renounce the empty praise of man,
Of vanity the vain reward,
And truly give whate'er we can,
As cheerful givers to the Lord.
Thou dost not Lord the rich condemn,
Who much of their abundance give,
That we the' intent may never blame,
When good the action we perceive:
The end of every offerer here,
The principle to God is known,
And till Thou make their hearts appear,
We leave their hearts to Thee alone.
