LyicsI'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.
