[Who of the rich will e'er believe]
Then said Jesus unto His disciples, Verily, &c.
—xix. 23.
Who of the rich will e'er believe
That riches are a fatal ill,
Can no content or comfort give,
With foolish lusts the owners fill,
And, when the golden mountains rise,
Block up our passage to the skies?
That riches are a fatal ill,
Can no content or comfort give,
With foolish lusts the owners fill,
And, when the golden mountains rise,
Block up our passage to the skies?

In vain the Truth Himself hath sworn:
They slight a poor rejected Lord,
From Jesus the deaf adders turn,
And never will receive His word,
Unless He His great power exert,
And break and change the worldly heart.
