Page 144 I set my heart on things above, And want no treasure but thy love. "Lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven." Matt. vi. 20. Assist me, Lord, against that day In heaven to secure Riches that cannot flee away, Substance that must endure: Thou art my fund infallible, My portion here thou art: O let thy Spirit now reveal The earnest in my heart! "Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." Matt. vi. 21.3 If with my all I cannot part, Cannot a child, or friend forego, In vain I would disguise my heart; My heart and treasure are below. "If thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light." Matt. vi. 22. O for that single eye Forever fixt on thee! Jesus, my want supply Of true simplicity, And then throughout my nature shine, And fill my soul with light divine. "Ye cannot serve God and mammon." Matt. vi. 24. Then let th' unrighteous mammon go; Suffice for me, that God I know, And Jesu's richest grace: My heart and treasure is above, And all my joy to taste thy love, Till I behold thy face. 3Ori., "22"; a misprint.
