You Glittering Toys Of Earth, Adieu,
A Nobler Choice Be Mine;
A Real Prize Attracts My View
A Treasure All Divine.
Away, Unworthy Of My Cares,
You Specious Baits Of Sense;
Inestimable Worth Appears,
The Pearl Of Price Immense!
Jesus To Multitudes Unknown
O Name Divinely Sweet!
Jesus, In Thee, In Thee Alone,
Wealth, Honor, Pleasure Meet.
Should Both The Indies, At My Call,
Their Boasted Stores Resign,
With Joy I Would Renounce Them All,
For Leave To Call Thee Mine.
Should Earth’s Vain Treasures All Depart
Of This Dear Gift Possessed,
I’d Clasp It To My Joyful Heart,
And Be For Ever Blest.
Blest Sovereign Of My Soul’s Desires,
Thy Love Is Bliss Divine;
Accept The Praise That Love Inspires,
Since I Can Call Thee Mine!
