Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding. (Proverbs 23)

Fading is the Worldling’s Pleasure

Savior, if of Zion’s city I, through grace, a member am, Let the world deride or pity— I will glory in Thy name. Fading is the worldling’s pleasure, All his boasted pomp and show; Solid joys and lasting treasure None but Zion’s members know.
