When in the light of faith divine

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 56 hymnals Topics: Fall and Depravity of Man Lyrics: 1 When in the light of faith divine We look on things below, Honour, and gold, and sensual joy, How vain and dangerous too! 2 Honour's a puff of noisy breath; Yet men expose their blood, And venture everlasting death, To gain that airy good. 3 Whilst others starve the nobler mind, And feed on shining dust, They rob the serpent of his food T' indulge a sordid lust. 4 The pleasures that allure our sense Are dangerous snares to souls; There's but a drop of flattering sweet, And dash'd with bitter bowls. 5 God is mine all-sufficient good, My portion and my choice; In him my vast desires are fill'd, And all my powers rejoice. 6 In vain the world accosts my ear, And tempts my heart anew; I cannot buy your bliss so dear, Nor part with heaven for you.

Why should this earth delight us so?

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 37 hymnals Topics: Fall and Depravity of Man Lyrics: 1 Why should this earth delight us so? Why should we fix our eyes On these low grounds where sorrows grow, And every pleasure dies? 2 While time his sharpest teeth prepares Our comforts to devour, There is a land above the stars, And joys above his power. 3 Nature shall be dissolv'd and die, The sun must end his race, The earth and sea for ever fly Before my Saviour's face. 4 When will that glorious morning rise? When the last trumpet sound, And call the nations to the skies, From underneath the ground?
Why should this earth delight us so?
