[Worldly wretch, let go thy hold]

With all thy getting get understanding. —iv. 7.

Worldly wretch, let go thy hold,
Grasp at earth, at air, no more!
Get the' imperishable gold,
Wisdom's never-failing store:
One of wisdom's mines possess'd
Can no other riches see,
Cries, “Who will may take the rest,
Christ is wealth enough for me!”
