See how the worthless bramble stands
Beneath a burning sky;
Withered and parch'd in barren sands.
And only grows to die.
Such is the sinner's awful case.
Who makes the world his trust;
And dares his confidence to place
In vanity and dust.
A secret curse destroys his root,
And dries its moisture up;
He lives a while but bears no fruit,
Then dies without a hope.
