A moment’s pleasure sinners know,

Through which they pass to endless woe:

A moment’s woe the righteous taste,

Through which to endless joy they haste:

Mark well, O Man, Eternity!

Eternity! Eternity!

How long art thou, Eternity!

Who looks to thee alone is wise,

Sin’s pleasures all he can despise;

The world attracts him now no more,
