A THOUGHT ON MATTHEW, XXV. 21.
“Well done” hast thou! but how much better He,Who by his deeds has done so well for thee!
Who quitted joys that angels never knew,
On swifer wings than angels ever flew:
Thy being's source is then the cause alone
Of all that in thee, for thee, by thee's done;
The primal mover of thy every thought,
Quench'd in its rise, or to perfection brought:
To Him be, therefore, all the praise divine,
While all the comfort and the favour's thine!
