Everlasting Wealth
Everlasting and enduring wealth
Our fathers' trust from time
Mine since the ages indefinite
Unexhausted and undiminished
You are the ageless resource
The true and abiding riches
Canker free and sorrow proof
A sure reserve for the day of trouble
Blessed is the life that in you consists
The heart that for his possession has you
For his treasure no moth shall know
And his storehouse shall no thief plunder
He shall not want in the year of famine
Neither will his eyes fail for desire
His soul shall be satisfied with pleasures
And his fortune shall always be good
When the conceited wail for losses
And rot clean eat away the trust of the godless
His count shall only be profits
And his barns in multiples shall grow
His returns shall not dwindle
For the possessor of all shall be his reward
