The Vanity of earthly Things

Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and Prayers, for Public and Private Worship #59 (1845) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: A Collection of Hymns and Prayers, for Public and Private Worship First Line: What are possessions, fame, and power Lyrics: 1 What are possessions, fame, and power The boasted splendour of the great? What gold, which dazzled eyes adore, And seek with endless toils and sweat? 2 Express their charms, declare their use, That we their merits may descry; Tell us what good they can produce, Or what important wants supply. 3 If, wounded with the sense of sin, To them for pardon we should pray, Will they restore our peace within, And wash our guilty stains away? 4 Can they celestial life inspire, Nature with power divine renew, With pure and sacred transports fire Our bosom, and our lusts subdue? 5 When with the pangs of death we strive, And yield all comforts here for lost, Will they support us, will they give Kind succor, when we need it most? 6 When at th'Almighty's awful bar To hear our final doom we stand, Can they incline the Judge to spare, Or wrest the vengeance from his hand? 7 Can they protect us from despair, From the dark reign of death and hell, Crown us with bliss, and throne us where The just, in joys immortal, dwell? 8 Sinners, your idols we despise, If these reliefs they cannot grant; Why should we such delusions prize, And pine in everlasting want?
