Luke 12:17: What shall I do, because I have no room, &c

By riches lawfully acquired
The miserable owner's vex'd;
Possess'd of all his heart desired,
Yet still encumber'd and perplex'd.
Poor in abundance, he complains
Of wealth preserved by toil and cost,
And anxious to secure his gains
Regrets his peace for ever lost.

Not such the riches of His grace
Which God hath to His people given:
Riches which at our wish increase,
Enlarge, and fill the heart with heaven:
Distributing we find them grow,
Preserved and multiplied by use,
Which we (who their true value know,
And always love) can never lose.
