How Long Shall Earth's Alluring Toys
Author: Anne Steele Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 48 hymnals First Line: How long shall earth’s alluring toys Lyrics: 1 How long shall earth’s alluring toys
Detain our hearts and eyes;
Regardless of immortal joys,
And strangers to the skies.
2 These transient scenes will soon decay,
They fade upon the sight;
And quickly will their brightest day
Be lost in endless night.
3 Their brightest day, alas, how vain!
With conscious sights we own;
While clouds of sorrow, care and pain,
O’ershade the smiling noon.
4 O could our thought and wishes fly,
Above these gloomy shades,
To those bright worlds beyond the sky
Which sorrow ne’er invades.
5 There joys unseen by mortal eyes,
Or reason’s feeble ray,
In ever blooming prospect rise,
Unconscious of decay.
6 Lord, send a beam of light divine,
To guide our upward aim;
With one reviving touch of Thine,
Our languid hearts inflame.
7 Then shall on faith’s sublimest wing
Our ardent wishes rise
To those bright scenes, where pleasures spring
Immortal in the skies. Used With Tune: BURLINGTON Text Sources: Poems on Subjects Chiefly Devotional, 1760

Prostrate dear Jesus at thy feet

Prostrate dear Jesus at thy feet
Jesus, Immortal King, Arise
Author: Aaron C. Seymour Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 117 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Jesus, immortal King, arise!
Assume, assert Thy sway,
Till earth, subdued, its tribute brings,
And distant lands obey.
2. Ride forth, victorious conqueror, ride,
Till all Thy foes submit,
And all the powers of hell resign
Their trophies at Thy feet.
3. Send forth Thy Word and let it fly
The spacious earth around,
Till every soul beneath the sun
Shall hear the joyful sound.
4. O may the dear Redeemer’s name
Through every clime be known,
And heathen gods, like Dagon, fall,
And Jesus reign alone!
5. O hasten, Lord, the happy time,
That long expected day,
When every kingdom, every tribe,
Shall own Thy gentle sway.
6. When all the untutored tribes
Shall the Redeemer own,
And crowds of willing converts come
To worship at Thy throne.
7. From sea to sea, from shore to shore,
Be thou, O Christ, adored,
And earth with all her millions shout
Hosannas to the Lord! Used With Tune: BURLINGTON Text Sources: Vital Christianity Exhibited in a Series of Letters on the Most Important Subjects of Religion, Addressed to Young Persons, 1810
