Men take pleasure in palaces, 

 in the works of their own hands. 

 They spend their lives pursuing 

 that which will not last.

Oh fellow citizens of earth -

 set your heart to seek

 that which has eternal worth.

Set your thoughts on things above 

 Seek to love            as God loves

Let us not value 

 that which rust and moth corrupt 

Let us not seek what comes from men

 Rather let us love

that which God has made

 His thoughts, His words, His ways,

  for these may we spend our days

  exalting Him alone with our praise...

"This is the God that has not been made,

  let us rejoice and be glad in Him"
