Verse 1

I saw the proud in wealth and ease,

Their laughter filled the land;

My weary heart was sore perplexed,

I could not understand.

The righteous bore the cross with tears,

While sinners seemed to win;

My feet had almost turned away,

My faith grew faint within.

Chorus

Then understood I their end,

When by faith I sought God's holy place;

There the books before the throne

Declared His truth and grace.

The Judge is just, His court is set,

His mercy still extends;

I saw beyond this fleeting world—

Then understood I their end.
