If the world and all of its wealth you gain
If its stores of treasures you should obtain
Would they not be useless and all in vain
If your soul is lost?
At your feet the world may no riches lay
Will it matter much on the judgment day
If you own a palace or hut of clay
If the world should honor and fame bestow
If uncounted millions your name should know
How much would it help you down here below
In the race of sin you are running fast
And the pleasures gained but a moment last;
How much will it profit when life is past
