"Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord.... Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth forever.... His heart is fixed, trusting in the Lord" (Psalm 112:1,3,7). "And He said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God's sake, who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come, life everlasting" (Luke 18:29,30).
Manifold more in this present time
Than all of this world and all it has stored:
This is the offer, secure and sublime,
To all who will follow Christ Jesus the Lord.
Manifold more, by heaven's true measure,
Than temporal family, fair-weather friends,
Houses or riches, or any such treasure,
Is given to each who on Jesus depends.
