| 1 The things on earth which men esteem, And of their richness boast, In value less or greater seem, Proportioned to their cost. 2 [The diamond, that’s for thousands sold, Our admiration draws; For dust men seldom part with gold, Or barter pearls for straws.] 3 Then what inestimable worth Must in those crowns appear, For which the Lord came down to earth, And bought for us, so dear! 4 The Father dearly loves the Son, And rates his merits high; For no mean cause he sent him down To suffer, grieve, and die. 5 The blessings from his death that flow, So little we esteem, Only because we slightly know, And meanly value him. 6 [’Twas our Creator for us bled, The Lord of life and power; Whom angels worship, devils dread – God blest for evermore.] 7 O could we but with clearer eyes His excellencies trace, Could we his person learn to prize, We more should prize his grace. | A Selection of Hymns for Public Worship. In four parts (10th ed.) (Gadsby's Hymns) #803a (1844) |
