"Better is little with the fear of the Lord than great treasure and trouble therewith" (Proverbs 15:16).
Riches are a fragile bubble
That vanish with their pleasures,
And with them there is ample trouble
To dim the brightest treasures.
How much better is the fear
That draws our hearts to God,
Delighting that the Lord is near
To guide with staff and rod!
So let this be our estimation:
That little is a lot
When Christ is found in our equation
With all His grace has wrought.
