THE WHEAT AND THE TARES, by OLIVER MURRAY EDWARDS

Subject(s): Judgment Day; Judgments; End Of The World; Doomsday; Fall Of Man
First Line: Satan hath with devil's cunning
Last Line: Tares are tares, and wheat is wheat.
Subject(s): Judgment Day; Judgments; End Of The World; Doomsday; Fall Of Man
Satan hath with Devil's cunning
Sowed the tares among the wheat;
We must let them grow together
Till before Christ's Judgment Seat.
He will there divide the harvest,
Separate the tares and wheat,—
Tares in bundles for the burning,
For God's granaries, the wheat.
Christ Himself will then interpret,
Fluent speakers will not speak,
None will argue, none will question:
Tares are tares, and wheat is wheat.
