Which wilt Thou serve? the world or God?

Verse 1
Which wilt thou serve? the world or God?
Sinner, thou canst not both obey:
Each other contraries exclude:
If Mammon thine affections sway,
Thou must renounce the joys above,
Thou canst not God and money love.

Verse 2
Canst thou deliberate which to chuse?
This moment with thine idols part,
The world with all its goods refuse,
Thy faithful undivided heart
To Christ thy rightful Master give,
And happy as his angels live.
