A Thought on Matt. xxiv. 26.

Blest is that servant whom his Lord
Shall at his coming find,
Daily employ'd in deed as word,
According to his mind.
Whose humble zeal with heart and hand,
His counsel would fulfil;
Obedient to the least command,
And patient of his will.

27

He shall his master's joy obtain,
And in his garment drest,
Shall with his Lord triumphant reign,
Amidst the marriage feast.
