-No, I shall envy them no more
-Who grow profanely great,
-Though they increase their golden store,
-And rise to wondrous height.
-They taste of all the joys that grow
-Upon this earthly clod!
-Well, they may search the creature through,
-For they have ne'er seen God.
-Shake off the thoughts of dying too,
-And think your life your own;
-But death comes hast'ning on to you,
-To mow your glory down.
-Go now, and boast of all your stores,
-And tell how bright you shine;
-Your heaps of glitt'ring dust are yours,
-And my Redeemer's mine.}}
