O, to have one, not many

Means much more to me

Than to have barrels and tons

Which would stress me greatly

O, to have one, not many

Would warm my soul

More than wagon full

And mines of gold

O, to have many, not one

Would be rather exhausting

I'd turn less grateful

In the years to come by

And expect more

When occasions are nigh

O, to have one, not many

A spouse to cherish

Would mean more to me

Than a thousand at once

I'd rather devote my life

To one, and one only

To love and behold

To live with, and be bold

O, to have one, not many

A God of heaven

I'd rather my soul to Him

Than the thousand of false gods

That dwell among

The countries so grim

O, if some would just realize

You don't need many things

To get through this life

For all of our treasures

Are up in heaven
