[The men who seek their portion here]

The children of this world are in their, &c. —xvi. 8.

The men who seek their portion here,
To their own worldly interest true
Consistent with themselves appear,
With steady aim their end pursue,

241

Contrivance, care, and foresight show
To' ensure the good they prize below.
Not half so wise the sons of light
The one thing needful to secure!
Toiling henceforth both day and night
To make our heavenly treasure sure,
O might we every means improve,
And Jesus every moment love!
