AT CHURCH

Within the many mansions
That God's dear love doth keep,
Where is the darksome closet
That hides the miser's heap?
I saw the miser walking
With others, robed in white,
No frown upon his forehead,
His features all alight.
“Oh, friend, where is thy treasure,
Gathered in many a year?”
“I'm richer far without it;
We want no money here.”
