Come, you blessed
By patient continuance in well-doing seek for glory and honor and immortality (Romans 2:7). In a constant, zealous performance of all good works, wait for that happy hour when the King shall say: I was hungry and you gave me meat. I was thirsty and you gave me drink. I was a stranger and you took me in, naked and you clothed me. I was sick and you visited me. I was in prison and you came to me. Come, you blessed of my Father, receive the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. Matthew 25:35-36, 34.

By patient continuance in well-doing seek thou for glory and honour and immortality. In a constant, zealous performance of all good works, wait thou for that happy hour, when the King shall say, I was hungry and ye gave me meat; I was thirsty and ye gave me drink. I was a stranger and ye took me in, naked and ye cloathed me. I was sick and ye visited me; I was in prison and ye came unto me. Come, ye blessed of my Father, receive the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world!
