How vain are all things here below

Hymnal: A Pocket Hymn Book #CXV (1791) Lyrics: 1 How vain are all things here below, How false, and yet how fair! Each pleasure hath its poison too, And ev'ry sweet a snare. 2 The brightest things below the sky Give but a flatt'ring light; We should suspect some danger nigh, Where we possess delight. 3 Our dearest joys, and nearest friends, The partners of our blood, How they divide our wav'ring minds, And leave but half for God! 4 The fondness of a creature's love, How strong it strikes the sense; Thither the warm affections move, Nor can we call 'em thence. 5 Dear Saviour, let thy beauties be My soul's eternal food; And grace command my heart away From all created good.
