How vain are all Things here below?

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #II.XLVIII (1766) Publication Date: 1766 Lyrics: 1 How vain are all Things here below! How false, and yet how fair! Each Pleasure hath its Poison too, And ev'ry Sweet a Snare. 2 The brightest Things below the Sky Give but a flatt'ring Light; We should suspect some danger nigh, Where we possess Delight. 3 Our dearest Joys, and nearest Friends, The Partners of our Blood, How they divide our wav'ring Minds, And leave but half for God. 4 The Fondness of a Creature's Love, How strong it strikes the Sense! Thither the warm Affections move, Nor can we call them thence. 5 Dear Saviour, let thy Beauties be My Soul's eternal Food; And Grace command my Heart away From all created Good.

All Things deliver'd are

Hymnal: Christian Hymns, Poems, and Spiritual Songs #I.I (1776) Publication Date: 1776 Lyrics: 1 All Things deliver'd are To Jesus, as the Son; Whilst we, in all Things, with him share, With him for-ever One. 2 We were the Father's Love; Us to his Son he gave; Where we his Life and Fulness prove, And in him Glory have. 3 To us he gave all Grace, In Christ, the Man divine; And we in him, before his Face, In perfect Beauty shine. 4 There's none can know the Son, Or witness who he is, But he who's with the Father one, His Love and Righteousness! 5 We in Perfection dwell, Where we the Father see; As one with him, we now can tell The Son's the Man that's free. 6 From Precept and Demand, Free from all Sin and Fear, Our Sonship shall in Jesus stand, Without our Toil or Care. 7 None but the Son, so blest, Can God as Father own; Until we are the Son confest, The Father is unknown. 8 O the amazing Grace We have in Jesus seen! The Glory of the Father's Face, Without a Veil between. 9 Now, perfected in God, His richest Grace we prove, The Way to which is Jesu's Blood, The Proof supreme of Love.
