A lovely youth falling short of heaven

Hymnal: The Hartford Selection of Hymns from the Most Approved Authors #CCLXV (1799) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Lovely youth falling short of heaven First Line: Must all the charms of nature then Lyrics: 1 Must all the charms of nature, then, So hopeless to salvation prove? Can hell demand, can heav'n condemn, The man whom Jesus deigns to love? 2 The man who sought the ways of truth, Paid friends and neighbors all their due; A modest, sober, lovely youth, And thought he wanted nothing new? 3 But mark the change: thus spake the Lord, "Come, part with earth for heav'n to-day," The youth, astonish'd at the word, In silent sadness went his way. 4 Poor virtues, that he boasted so, This test unable to endure, Let Christ, and grace, and glory go, To make his land and money sure! 5 Ah foolish choice of treasures here! Ah fatal love of tempting gold! Must this base world be bought so dear? Are life and heav'n so cheaply sold! 6 In vain the charms of nature shine, If this vile passion govern me; Transform my soul, O love divine! And make me part with all for thee.

He never will revoke A single promise he has spoke. Scripture: Numbers 23:19 Languages: English

[6 Sing of his Pow'r and Justice too, That infinite Right Hand of his, That vanquish'd Satan and his Crew, And Thunder drove them down from Bliss.] [7 What mighty Storms of poison'd Darts Were hurl'd upon the Rebels there! What deadly Jav'lins nail'd their Hearts Fast to the Racks of long Despair!] 8 Shout to your King, ye heav'nly Host: You that beheld the sinking Foe; Firmly ye stood when they were lost; Praise the rich Grace that kept you so.] 9 Proclaim his Wonders from the Skies, Let ev'ry distant Nation hear; And while you sound his lofty Praise, Let humble Mortals bow and fear.
