Matthew 6:20: Lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)

Religion

Assist me, Lord, against that day
In heaven to secure
Riches that cannot flee away.
Substance that must endure:
Thou art my fund infallible.
My portion here Thou art:
O let Thy Spirit now reveal
The earnest in my heart!
