Luke 12:21: The miser doth his riches store
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)
Religion
The miser doth his riches store
Not for his own or others' use,
Not for his God in Jesus' poor,
But for himself — to count — and lose:
Wealth for himself his confidence.
His god he makes, his sole delight
Till hurried in a moment hence
He sinks in everlasting night.
