Lyics

I'll forbid my vain aspiring,

Nor at earthly honours aim;

No ambitious heights desiring,

Far above my humble claim,

Far above my humble claim.



Wean'd from earth's vexatious pleasures,

In thy love I'll seek for mine;

Placed in heav'n my nobler treasures,

Earth I'll quietly resign,

Earth I'll quietly resign.
