LyicsYou glitt'ring toys of earth adieu,
A nobler choice be mine;
A real prize attracts my view-
A treasure all divine.
Away, unworthy of my cares,
You specious bates of sense;
Unestimable worth appears,
The pearl of price immense!
Jesus, to multitudes unknown-
O name divinely sweet!
Jesus, in thee, in thee alone,
Wealth, honor, pleasure, meet.
Should both the Indies, at my call,
Their boasted stores resign,
With joy I would renounce them all,
For leave to call thee mine.
Should earth's vain treasures all depart,
Of this dear gift possest,
I'd clasp it to my joyful heart,
And be forever blest.
Blest Sov'reign of my sou'ls desires,
Thy love is bliss divine,
Accept the praise that love inspires,
Since I can call thee mine!
