Earth's glittering prizes!
(Alexander Smellie, "The Hour of Silence" 1899)
set your hearts on things above, where CHRIST
is seated at the right hand of GOD. Set your minds
on things above, not on earthly things!" Colossians 3:1-2
Earth's joys grow dim. Earth's glittering
prizes prove transient and unreal.
I desire to be delivered . . .
from the inanities and vulgarities of the world,
from the follies of fashion and pleasure,
from the pride of riches and prestige.
but the man who does the will of GOD
lives forever!" 1 John 2:17
