Matthew 13: Worldlings in vain the truth approve
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Religion
Worldlings in vain the truth approve,
Who seek their rest and comforts here.
Who pleasure, praise, or riches love,
They cannot keep the godly fear.
Or faith in gracious acts express.
Or bear the fruits of righteousness.
