Ye Glittering Toys of Earth
Author: Anne Steele Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 142 hymnals First Line: Ye glitt'ring toys of Earth, adieu Lyrics: 1. Ye glitt'ring toys of Earth, adieu;
A nobler choice be mine;
A greater prize attracts my view,
A treasure all divine.
Be gone, unworthy of my cares,
Ye specious baits of sense;
Inestimable worth appears,
The pearl of price immense.
2. Jesus, to multitudes unknown,
O name divinely sweet!
Jesus, in you, in you alone
Wealth, honor, pleasure meet.
Should earthly coffers at my call
Their boasted stores resign,
With joy I would renounce them all,
For leave to call you 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 sov'reign of my soul's desires,
Your love is bliss divine;
Accept the wish that love inspires,
And bid me call you mine. Topics: Ordinary Time Week 12 Scripture: Matthew 13:44 Used With Tune: NEW PSALM 60
Ye Glittering Toys of Earth
When Troubles Come
Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith, 1926- Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: When troubles come and hopes depart Lyrics: 1 When troubles come and hopes depart,
in mercy, LORD, arise;
the ruined landscape of my heart
lies bare before Your eyes.
Where human pride is humbled low
and crushed beneath Your hand,
Your solace, LORD, again bestow
and heal this broken land.
2 Though darkness seems to hide Your face
amid earth's sin and pain,
break through the clouds, O God of grace,
restore my soul again.
The banner of Your love unfurled
proclaims a shelt'ring arm;
no foes in all this fallen world
can bring Your people harm.
3 In holiness Your Word goes forth
from that eternal throne:
to east and west, to south and north,
Your glory rules alone.
Frail human strength is nothing worth,
beset by evil powers,
yet with the God of all the earth
the victory is ours! Scripture: Psalm 60 Used With Tune: PSALM 60 NEW
