He looks on all the joys of time With undesiring eyes. 2 In vain soft pleasure spreads her charms, And throws her silken chain; And wealth and fame invite His arms, And tempt His ear in vain. 3 He knows that all these glitt'ring things Must yield to sure decay; And sees on time's extended wings How swift they flee away! 4 To things unseen by mortal eyes, A beam of sacred light Directs His view; His prospects rise All permanent and bright. 5 His hopes are fixed on joys to come: Those blissful scenes on high Shall flourish in immortal bloom, When time and nature die.
