This piece of paper in your hand,
Declares to you that on demand,
You twenty shillings shall receive.
This simple promise you believe.
So Christ who died, and now loth live,
Doth unto you this promise give;
That if you on His name believe,
You shall eternal life receive.
Upon the first you calmly rest.
Which is the surest and the best?
The bank may break, heaven never can;
‘Tis safer trusting God than man.
