559-8
Gave it away — counted as returned to God.
Sold it — stole from Him.
Bought it — laid it up to keep for Him.
Took it free — went into debt.
Pilfered — lost a piece of the soul,
Seized it — burned one’s own salvation,
Defended an orphan — God praised,
Insulted — touched the apple of His eye.
Armed with instructive experience
In the maturity attained
Conscience and scruple will prompt
How to reach eternity.
