Love to the Creatures is dangerous

Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #CXVI (1791) First Line: How vain are all Things here below 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.
