"My children fed and clothed me too,
When I was sick and faint;
They came to me, and did with love
Supply my every want
"But ye refused me, and did mock
My little children too,
Now therefore _hence, depart from me,_
For ye I never knew."
God doth require of us to show
In _deed_ as well as word,
To all around, that we indeed
Are children of the Lord,
By doing good to others' woes
Relieving their distress;
Supplying all their wants, and thus
Their heavy spirits bless.
And he hath promised, that if we
This kindness show to them,
He will our every act regard,
As kindness done to Him.

CONCLUSION.
How simple were the Saviour's words,
How great the truths He taught;
How much He suffer'd here below,
What rich salvation brought!
O! let us hear His gracious word,
His Heavenly law obey,
That we may rise and reign with Him,
In an eternal day.
The pleasures of the world are vain,
And swiftly pass away;
And those who trust in them, in death
Can have no cheering ray,
Of hope or faith, to brighten up
The path of gloom and dread,
But they with fear, must enter in
The regions of the dead.
