(The following lines were found written on the back of a bank note.)
This piece of paper in your hand
Declares to you that on demand
You twenty dollars shall receive;
This simple promise you believe;
It puts your mind as much at rest
As if the silver you possessed.
So Christ, who died, but now doth live,
Doth unto you the promise give
That if you on His name believe,
You shall eternal life receive.
Upon the first you clearly rest;
Which is the surest and the best?
The bank may break; heaven never can;
'Tis safer trusting God than man.
"Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and He will have mercy upon him; and to our God, and He will abundantly pardon."
Isaiah 55:7
