Or the world, a tempting snare,
I am safe when I abide
In thy heart and wounded side.
If the flesh, more dangerous still,
Tempt my soul to deeds of ill,
Naught I fear when I abide
In Thy heart and wounded side.
Death will come one day to me;
Jesu cast me not from Thee:
Dying let me still abide
In Thy heart and wounded side.

Thy gold is naught but tinsel gold,
Be thou, O Lord, my treasure.
