Page 188 "He shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left." Matt. xxv. 33. They shall be numbred with the sheep, And found on the right hand, Who hear the shepherd now, and keep His every kind command. Ah, give me now thy voice to hear, And mark me with thy sign, And when thou dost as judge appear, Acknowledge me for thine. "Come, ye blessed." Matt. xxv. 34. Here on earth he bids us come Weary to himself for rest, There receives his brethren home, Makes, whom he pronounces, blest, Crowns with immortality, Gives the joy prepar'd for me. "When saw we thee an hungred." Matt. xxv. 37. I want that unreflecting love Which simply thy command obeys, (Content, if thou at last approve) Nor fondly on the action stays: Still would I my own good forget, Which is not, gracious Lord, my own, Till thou thy servant's works repeat, And praise me for what grace had done. "Ye have done it unto me." Matt. xxv. 40. To Christ who would not gladly give Raiment, or food, or ease, And in his substitutes relieve His Saviour in distress? Saviour, where'er conceal'd thou art, Thee may I plainly see, And always bear it on my heart "Ye did it unto me!"
