"Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? For riches make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven.... My son, it thine heart be wise, My heart shall rejoice, even Mine.... For surely there is an end; and thine expectation shall not be cut off" (Proverbs 23:5,15,18). "And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you" (John 16:22).
Set not your hope on earthly things,
That very soon decay.
The world's riches make their wings
And surely fly away.
Let Jesus be your Expectation,
Your dear, unfailing Friend!
The riches of His great salvation
Shall never, never end.
