Luke 12: "Goods for many years laid up!"
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)
Religion
"Goods for many years laid up!"
Worldling, to the future blind,
Trust not thy deceitful hope
Of those many years behind;
Slave to appetite and sense.
Foolish soul, of life secure,
Who, when judgment calls thee hence,
Can another hour ensure?
