Eternal Treasures

 


‘Be anxious for nothing,”

God says unto thee;

“Consider the lilies 

Blooming bounteously;

Look close at the flowers

Of richest design;

Shall He not clothe you then?
Oh, why do you pine?”

 

“Take no thought to worry,”

See birds in the sky;

The robin’s no farmer;

Sparrows own no scythe,

But God watches oe’r them,

And feedeth them, too.

Shall He not provide, then,

For children like you?

 


Oh, seek things eternal: 

The Kingdom of God.

Store treasures forever

In Heaven above.

Obey God, and serve Him

With all of your heart;

His grace to you surely

Then He shall impart.


These glorious riches

Are pearls of great price,

And crowns to give Jesus

In His Paradise;

Rubies of His Wisdom

Bequeathed from His Word

Bring praise from our Savior,

The crucified Lord.
