Lyics

If life's pleasures charm thee,

Give them not thy heart;

Lest the gift ensnare thee,

From thy God to part.

Lest the gift ensnare thee,

From thy God to part.



If distress befall thee,

Painful though it be,

Let not grief appal thee,

To thy Saviour flee.

Let not grief appal thee,

To thy Saviour flee.



When earth's prospects fail thee,

Let it not distress:

Better comforts wait thee,

Christ will freely bless.

Better comforts wait thee,

Christ will freely bless.



Let not death alarm thee,

Shrink not from his blow;

For the conflict arm thee,

Triumph o'er the foe.

For the conflict arm thee,

Triumph o'er the foe.
