DEADNESS TO THE WORLD




Vain is the world with all its joys,
When faith a better country spies;
Our souls forsake the empty noise,
With ardour seek their native skies.


Let others live on serpent’s fare,
Or make the shining dust their food;
God is not worth a Christian’s care,
And nought beneath our God is good.


A thousand larger globes than this,
Can never fill th’ immortal mind;
Upwards we soar to realms of bliss,
And seek for pleasure more refined.


The world’s alluring charms appear
A phantom, when exposed to view;
Oft have we bought its wealth too dear,
And now we bid a long adieu.
