Thomas Ken

“ Think how all-seeing God thy ways,
And all thy secret Thoughts surveys.
Influenc'd by the Light Divine,
Let thy own Light in good Works shine:
Reflect all Heaven's propitious ways,
In ardent Love, and chearful Praise. ”

“ Shake off dull Sloth, and early rise,
To pay thy Morning Sacrifice.
Redeem thy mispent time that's past,
Live this day, as if 'twere thy last:
T'improve thy Talent take due care,
'Gainst the great Day thyself prepare. ”
