The Riches of God's Word
Author: Dr. S. Stennett Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #XLV (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Scriptures Their riches First Line: Let avarice from shore to shore Lyrics: 1 Let avarice from shore to shore,
Her fav'orite God pursue;
Thy word, O Lord, we value more
Than India or Peru.
2 Here mines of knowledge, love, and joy
Are open'd to our sight:
The purest gold without alloy,
And gems divinely bright.
3 The counsels of redeeming grace
The sacred leaves unfold:
And here the Savior's lovely face
Our raptur'd eyes behold.
4 Here light descending from above
Directs our doubtful feet:
Here promises of heavenly love
Our ardent wishes meet.
5 Our num'rous griefs are here redrest,
And all our wants supplied:
Naught we can ask to make us blest,
Is in this book denied.
6 For these inestimable gains,
That so enrich the mind,
O may we search with eager pains,
Assur'd that we shall find! Languages: English
The Riches of God's Word
Psalm 49
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.111 (1806) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Life and riches, their vanity; Riches Their Vanity; Vanity of life and riches First Line: Why do the proud insult the poor Lyrics:
Why do the proud insult the poor,
And boast the large estates they have?
How vain are riches to secure
Their haughty owners from the grave!
They can't redeem one hour from death,
With all the wealth in which they trust;
Nor give a dying brother breath,
When God commands him down to dust.
There the dark earth and dismal shade
Shall clasp their naked bodies round;
That flesh, so delicately fed,
Lies cold and moulders in the ground.
Like thoughtless sheep the sinner dies,
Laid in the grave for worms to eat:
The saints shall in the morning rise,
And find th' oppressor at their feet.
His honors perish in the dust,
And pomp and beauty, birth and blood:
That glorious day exalts the just
To full dominion o'er the proud.
My Savior shall my life restore,
And raise me from my dark abode;
My flesh and soul shall part no more,
But dwell for ever near my God.

What endless glory shines!
For ever be Thy name adored
For these celestial lines.

Exhaustless riches find;
Riches above what earth can grant,
And lasting as the mind.

And yields a free repast;
Sublimer sweets than nature knows
Invite the longing taste.
4 Here the Redeemer's welcome voice
Spreads heavenly peace around;
And life and everlasting joys
Attend the blissful sound.

Be Thou for ever near;
Teach me to love Thy sacred word,
And view my Saviour there. Languages: English Tune Title: ARNOLD
