38-9
They seek treasures and gold,
Bliss, glory — there it is!
But they don’t notice the hammer of sins,
Its cunning.
Having chosen mammon* in plenty,
Having driven out God and morality,
Will we truly return Home,
Will we hold the Grail?**
Wish for money and wealth,
Health, happiness, and good,
But beware of sacrilege,
So the soul does not perish.
________
- mammon — profit
** grail — the sacred golden cup in which was kept the Savior’s blood that flowed from the cross
