Neither be barren
Nor unfruitful in knowledge
Of our Lord, Jesus.
Having before us
Exceeding great, precious hope
The promise of faith.
Add virtue to faith
And add to virtue, knowledge
To knowledge, temperance.
Give all diligence
For patience breeds godliness
Sown deep in the soul.
He that lacketh these
Hath forgotten and sees not
That he has been purged.
Friend, give attention
To make your calling certain
That you shall not fall.
For so an entrance
Shall be ministered to you
Into the Kingdom.
He will not neglect
To put you in remembrance
Of these things in Truth.
Take heed, for the Light
That shineth in a dark place
Is balm to the soul.
Blessed be His name
For His Word and love be true
And His promise sure.
