William Cowper - Olney Hymn 21: Sardis
Work rating: Low

"Write to Sardis," saith the Lord, 
"And write what He declares, 
He whose Spirit, and whose word, 
Upholds the seven stars: 
All thy works and ways I search, 
Find thy zeal and love decay`d; 
Thou art call`d a living church, 
But thou art cold and dead. 

"Watch, remember, seek, and strive, 
Exert thy former pains; 
Let thy timely care revive, 
And strengthen what remains; 
Cleanse thine heart, thy works amend, 
Former times to mind recall, 
Lest my sudden stroke descend, 
And smite thee once for all. 

"Yet I number now in thee 
A few that are upright; 
These my Father`s face shall see, 
And walk with me in white. 
When in judgment I appear, 
They for mine shall be confess`d; 
Let my faithful servants hear, — 
And woe be to the rest!"
