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,
