What is the chaff, the word of man
1
What is the chaff, the word of man,When set against the wheat?Can it a dying soul sustainLike that immortal meat?
2
Thy word, O God, with heavenly breadThy children doth supply;And those who by thy word are fed,Their souls shall never die.

'T is like a field where hidden liesThe pearl of price unknown,And he indeed is truly wiseWho makes this pearl his own.
