Lyics

HAD I ten thousand gifts beside,

I'd cleave to Jesus crucified,

And build on Him alone;

For no foundation is there giv'n

On which to place my hopes of heav'n,

But Christ the corner-stone.



Possessing Christ, I all possess,

Wisdom, and strength, and righteousness,

And holiness complete;

Bold in His name, I can draw nigh

Before the Ruler of the sky,

And worship at His feet.



There is no path to heav'nly bliss,

To solid joy or lasting peace,

But Christ, th' appointed road;

O may we tread the sacred way,

By faith rejoice, and praise, and pray,

Till we sit down with God!
