Ich habe Lust, bei dir zu sein
Und darum selig abzuscheiden.
[TREASURE IN HEAVEN.]
Seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
Col. iii. 1.
My soul, let this your thoughts employ,
Defer not until death to ponder
On what shall be the heavenly joy,
Which God’s redeem’d are promis’d yonder.
True riches lie beyond the skies,
And there should’st thou be ever gazing;
