"My soul, wait thou only upon God, for my expectation is from Him. In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength and my refuge is in God.... Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: to be laid in the balance, they are altogether lighter than vanity" (Psalm 62:5-9).
In God is all our expectation;
On Him we cast our care.
In God is infinite salvation;
With whom does He compare?
All men of low or high degree
Have souls of equal worth,
But titles with their flattery
Shall perish from the earth.
Though earthly wealth and honors seem
To carry greater weight,
These things, like disappearing steam,
Shall soon evaporate.
The temporal things that men applaud
Are subject to decay,
But every treasure found in God
Shall never pass away.
We thank You for deliverance,
O Lord, from what is vain:
From empty insignificance
Esteemed on earth as gain.
We thank You, Lord, for intimate
And everlasting love,
Which weighed that price so infinite
And sent You from above.
We see our riches in the scales
Of heaven's perfect measure:
Salvation full that never fails
In Christ, our truest Treasure!
