Hymn 1:43. [Supplement.] The Christian treasure, 1 Cor. 3. 21.

← Hymns and Spiritual Songs

1 How vast the treasure we possess! How rich thy bounty, King of Grace! This world is ours, and worlds to come Earth is our lodge, and heaven our home.

2 All things are ours, the gifts of God; The purchase of a Saviour's blood: While the good Spirit shews us how To use and to improve them too.

3 If peace and plenty crown my days, They help, me, Lord, to speak thy praise! If bread of sorrows be my food, Those sorrows work my lasting good.

4 I would not change my blest estate For all the world calls good or great: And while my faith can keep her hold, I envy not the sinner's gold.

5 Father, I wait thy daily will; Thou shalt divide my portion still: Grant me on earth what seems thee best, Till death and heaven reveal the rest.
