The tru - ly wor - thy things in life, Come down from God a - bove. We know the lov - ing care by him Who birds of heav - en feeds. Lets use the days were grant - ed now For things of last - ing gain.

With him there is no wa - ver - ing, No change, how - ev - er slight. We give no place to worth - less things, No years to hurt - ful strife. The rich - es that we store with God Are safe, though we may die.
