He lengthens life and saves from death,
But love him not o'er well, God saith,
For covetousness is woe.
If thou shouldst chance treasure to win,
Delight thee not too much therein,
Nor proud nor haughty be;
But spend all as a Christian can,
So that thou mayst love God and man
In perfect charity.
God grant us grace, with heart and will,
