Deuteronomy 8:18: Thou shall remember the Lord thy God, &c
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
Think, thou busy, prosperous man,
From whence thy goods increase,
All thy diligence were vain.
If God refused to bless:
Wealth thou dost through Him acquire,
That all thy soul may heavenward move.
Wing'd with infinite desire
Of Jesu's richest love.
