My Soul forsakes her vain Delight

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #II.X (1766) Hymnal Title: The Psalms of David 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.
