The Favour of God the Only Satisfying Good

Hymnal: Poems on Subjects Chiefly Devotional, Vol. 1 #30 (1760) First Line: In vain the erring world enquires Lyrics: I. In vain the erring world enquires, For true substantial good: While earth confines their low desires, They live on airy food. II. Illusive dreams of happiness, Their eager thoughts employ; They wake, convinc'd their boasted bliss Was visionary joy. III. Begone, ye gilded vanities; I seek some solid good; To real bliss my wishes rise, The favour of my God. IV. My God, to thee my soul aspires; Dispel the shades of night, Enlarge and fill these vast desires, With infinite delight. V. Immortal joy thy smiles impart, Heav'n dawns in ev'ry ray; One glimpse of thee will glad my heart, And turn my night to day. VI. Not all the good which earth bestows, Can fill the craving mind; Its highest joys have mingled woes, And leave a sting behind. VII. Should boundless wealth increase my store— Can wealth my cares beguile? I should be wretched still, and poor Without thy blissful smile. VIII. Grant, O my God, this one request: Oh, be thy love alone My ample portion,—here I rest, For heav'n is in the boon. Scripture: Psalm 4:6-7 Languages: English
