Of the vain world's golden store,
From each idol that would keep us,
Saying, "Christian, love Me more."

Days of toil and hours of ease,
Still He calls in cares and pleasures,
"Christian, love Me more than these."

Saviour, may we hear Thy call,
Give our hearts to Thy obedience,
Serve and love Thee best of all.

Since Jesus freely did appear
Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #645 (1828) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Wedding Lyrics: 1 Since Jesus freely did appear,
To grace a marriage feast
O Lord, we ask thy presence here,
To make a wedding guest.
2 Upon the bridal pair look down,
Who now have plighted hands;
Their union with thy favour crown,
And bless their nuptial bands.
3 With gifts of grace their hearts endow,
Of all rich dowries best!
Their substance bless, and peace bestow
To sweeten all the rest.
4 In purest love their souls unite,
That they, with Christian care,
May make domestic burdens light,
By taking mutual share.
5 True helpers may thy prove indeed,
In prayer, and faith, and hope;
And see with joy a godly seed
To build their household up.
6 On every soul assembled here,
O make thy face to shine;
Thy goodness more our hearts can cheer
Than richest food or wine.

Our hope for years to come,
Our shelter from the stormy blast,
And our eternal home:

Thy saints have dwelt secure;
Sufficient is Thine arm alone,
And our defense is sure.

Or earth received her frame,
From everlasting Thou art God,
To endless years the same.

Are like an evening gone,
Short as the watch that ends the night
Before the rising sun.
5 Time, like an ever-rolling stream,
Bears all its sons away;
They fly forgotten as a dream
Dies at the op'ning day.
6 Our God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Be Thou our guard while life shall last
And our eternal home.
