Love Not the World
Love not the world nor its gold and goodies
Cling to the cross and lay there your burden
The world and its cares will one day be the stories
You will tell the angels at the gate of heaven.
Live not in the world as a lord over it
Learn to live as a stranger and pilgrim
For one day you‘ll be called out of it
And all your wisdom, weath and wares will become a dream.
Lend not your heart to the world of sin
Nor give your heart to mischief and cruelty
Let not your tongue pierce others within
But soak yourself in the depth of honesty.
Lose not your talent and treasures to this world,
Give not your heart to sleep nor your eyes to slumber
Use your brains and brawns to profit unto the lord
Love not the world for it’s full of pains and blunder.
