Ye Glittering Toys of Earth, Adieu

Author: Anne Steele Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 141 hymnals Matching Instances: 2 Lyrics: 1. Ye glittering toys of earth, adieu, A nobler choice be mine; A regal prize attracts my view, A treasure all divine; Begone unworthy of my cares, Ye spacious baits of sense; Inestimable worth appears The pearl of price immense. 2. Jesus, to multitudes unknown— O name divinely sweet! Jesus, in Thee, in Thee alone, Wealth, honor, pleasure meet! Should both the Indies at my call Their boasted stores resign: With joy I would renounce them all, For leave to call Thee mine. 3. Should earth’s vain treasures all depart, Of this dear gift possessed, I’d clasp it to my joyful heart, And be forever blest: Dear Sovereign of my soul’s desire, Thy love is bliss divine! Accept the wish that love inspires, And bid me call Thee mine. Used With Tune: FARNHAM (Mason) Text Sources: Poems on Subjects Chiefly Devotional, 1760

Great God! Thy Vast And Deep Designs

Author: John Needham Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Great God! Thy vast and deep designs What mortal can explore? To trace Thy steps is not our part, But humbly to adore. 2 Slow is Thy wrath, Thy patience great; But when Thy anger burns, It shakes the earth, it shakes the sea, And mountains overturn. 3 Deep in the earth Thy magazines Of dreadful vengeance lie; And when Thy blast shall fire the train Huge rocks shall upwards fly. 4 Convulsions seize the heaving earth At Thy almighty call; Cities with all their lofty towers In hideous ruin fall. 5 Repent, repent, Thy vengeance cries, May nations hear Thy rod; Forgive our sins, Lord, spare our land, And be Thou still our God. 6 Whilst mercy lasts may nations know The season of Thy grace: Lest fiery vengeance should consume A vile rebellious race.
