Author: Dr. Doddridge Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #DXIX (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Hymnal Title: A Selection of Hymns First Line: Now let a true ambition rise Lyrics: 1 Now let a true ambition rise,
And ardor fire our breasts,
To reign in worlds above the skies,
In heavenly glory drest.
2 Behold, Jehovah's royal hand
A radient crown display,
Whose gems with vivid lustre shine,
While stars and sun decay.
3 Away each grovelling anxious care,
Beneath a christian's aim!
I spring to seize immortal joys,
In our redeemer's name.
5 Ye hearts with youthful vigor warm,
The glorious prise pursue;
Nor fear the want of earthly good,
While heaven is kept in view. Topics: Times and Seasons Youth; Kingdom of God, to be first sought; Youth encouraged to seek the Lord Scripture: Matthew 6:33 Languages: English
