WORLDLY ALLUREMENTS




Vain world be gone, fly swiftly hence,
No more from God seduce my mind;
In all the flattering joys of sense,
No solid pleasure can I find:
They leave an aching void within,
No peace have they who live in sin.


Arise, my soul, awake my powers,
The only real good to pursue;
A good replete with richest stores,
And yielding pleasures ever new:
There thou may’st take a full repast,
While everlasting ages last.
