Proverbs 4:7: Worldly wretch, let go thy hold
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
Worldly wretch, let go thy hold.
Grasp at earth, at air, no more!
Get the' imperishable gold,
Wisdom's never-failing store:
One of wisdom's mines possess'd
Can no other riches see.
Cries, " Who will may take the rest,
Christ is wealth enough for me!"
