If Life's Pleasures Charm Thee

Author: Francis S. Key Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #13437 First Line: If life’s pleasures charm thee Lyrics: 1 If life’s pleasures charm thee, Give them not thy heart. Lest the gift ensnare thee From thy God to part; His favor seek, His praises speak— Fix here thy hope’s salvation; Serve Him, and He will ever be The Rock of thy salvation. 2 If distress befall thee, Painful though it be, Let not grief appall thee— To your Savior flee; He ever near, thy prayer will hear, And calm your perturbation; The waves of woe shall ne’er o’erflow The Rock of thy salvation. 3 When earth’s prospects fail thee, Let it not distress; Better comforts wait thee— Christ will surely bless; To Jesus flee—thy prop He’ll be, Thy heav’nly consolation; For griefs below cannot o’er throw The Rock of thy salvation. 4 Dangers may approach thee; Let them not alarm; Christ will ever watch thee, And protect from harm; He near thee stands, with mighty hands, To ward off each temptation; To Jesus fly; He’s ever nigh, The Rock of thy salvation. 5 Let not death alarm thee, Shrink not from his blow; For thy God shall arm thee, And vict’ry bestow, For death shall bring to thee no sting, The grave no desolation; ’Tis sweet to die with Jesus nigh, The Rock of thy salvation.
