DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

George Herbert preaches about the dual nature of life, one focused on
earthly matters and the other hidden in Christ, emphasizing the need to
prioritize the eternal over the temporal. He encourages a life dedicated
to aiming for heavenly goals, forsaking worldly pleasures for the
promise of an eternal treasure in Christ.

CONTENT
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our life is hid with Christ in God

My words and thoughts do both express this notion,

That Life hath with the sun a double motion

The first Is straight, and our diurnal friend,

The other Hid, and doth obliquely bend.

One life is wrapt In flesh, and tends to earth.

The other winds towards Him, whose happy birth

Taught me to live here so, That still one eye

Should aim and shoot at that which Is on high:

Quitting with daily labor all My pleasure,

To gain at harvest an eternal Treasure.
