My Soul forsakes her vain Delight

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #II.X (1766) Topics: Sinful Pleasures forsaken Lyrics: 1 My Soul forsakes her vain Delight, And bids the World farewel; Base as the Dirt beneath my Feet, And mischievous as Hell. 2 No longer will I ask your Love, Nor seek your Friendship more; The Happiness that I approve, Lies not within your Pow'r. 3 There's nothing round this spacious Earth That suits my large Desire; To boundless Joy and solid Mirth My nobler Thoughts aspire. [4 Where Pleasure rolls its living Flood, From Sin and Dross refin'd, Still springing from the Throne of God, And fit to cheer the Mind. 5 Th' Almighty Ruler of the Sphere, The Glorious and the Great, Brings his own All-sufficience there, To make our Bliss complete.] 6 Had I the Pinions of a Dove, I'd climb the heav'nly Road; There sits my Saviour drest in Love, And there my smiling God.

I send the Joys of Earth away

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #II.XI (1766) Topics: Sinful Pleasures forsaken Lyrics: 1 I send the Joys of Earth away, Away ye Tempters of the Mind, False as the smooth, deceitful Sea, And empty as the whistling Wind. 2 Your Streams were floating me along Down to the Gulf of black Despair, And whilst I listen'd to your Song, Your Streams had e'en convey'd me there. 3 Lord, I adore thy matchless Grace, That warn'd me of that dark Abyss; That drew me from those treach'rous Seas, And bid me seek superior Bliss. 4 Now to the shining Realms above, I stretch my Hands and glance my Eyes; O for the Pinions of a Dove, To bear me to the Upper Skies! 5 There, from the Bosom of my God, Oceans of endless Pleasure roll; There would I fix my last Abode, And drown the sorrows of my Soul.

Success his lobor shall attend, And safety guard his way. 4 O may'st thou, free from hostile fear, Nor the loud voice of tumult hear, Nor war's wild waste deplore; May plenty nigh thee take her stand, And in thy courts, with lavish hand, Distribute all her store. 5 Seat of my friends and brethren, hail!
