Sonnets by the Rev. Charles Strong | ||
XLIX.
Proud One! I reckon thee thus highly placed
At the Great Master's hospitable board,
For other purpose than to wear and waste,—
He claims thy service, claims to be adored:
At the Great Master's hospitable board,
For other purpose than to wear and waste,—
He claims thy service, claims to be adored:
This homage paid, 'tis given thee to taste,
To see o'er all thy works his blessing pour'd;
Whilst those, who only to their pleasures haste,
Shall pine amid th' abundance of their hoard.
To see o'er all thy works his blessing pour'd;
Whilst those, who only to their pleasures haste,
Shall pine amid th' abundance of their hoard.
‘Ah, say, how serve him best, how best adore’—
A Brother, Sister see in all who grieve,
And in thine own behold a common store:
A Brother, Sister see in all who grieve,
And in thine own behold a common store:
Who doeth thus shall thankfully believe
His words, who all our sins and sorrows bore,—
More blessed 'tis to give than to receive.
His words, who all our sins and sorrows bore,—
More blessed 'tis to give than to receive.
