Lyrics

The lyrics are taken from the Gospel of Matthew, chapter 25, verses 34-36 and 40.

Then shall the King
Say unto them
On his right hand:
Come ye blessed of my Father
Inherit the kingdom prepared for you
From the foundation of the world
I was hunger’d and ye gave me meat,
I was thirsty and ye gave me drink
I was a stranger and ye took me in,
Naked and ye clothed me,
I was sick and ye visited me,
I was in prison and ye came unto me
In as much ye have done it unto one of the least of
These my brethren
Ye have done it unto me,
Ye have done it unto me.

gollark: Anyway, would it be okay rule-wise for me to generate a few tens of thousands of new computers?
gollark: I use f2fs on my SSD-based systems now, but I'm excited to see where bcachefs goes.
gollark: Every time I install Linux, I inevitably spend an hour or so looking at recent filesystem benchmarks and comparisons and stuff, but not actually getting much value out of it.
gollark: FAT32 works fine for EFI system partitions on everything sane, surely.
gollark: What?
