Author: Anne Steele Hymnal: Hymns and Devotions for Daily Worship #242 (2024) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D First Line: Ye glitt'ring toys of Earth, adieu Lyrics: 1. Ye glitt'ring toys of Earth, adieu;
A nobler choice be mine;
A greater prize attracts my view,
A treasure all divine.
Be gone, unworthy of my cares,
Ye specious baits of sense;
Inestimable worth appears,
The pearl of price immense.
2. Jesus, to multitudes unknown,
O name divinely sweet!
Jesus, in you, in you alone
Wealth, honor, pleasure meet.
Should earthly coffers at my call
Their boasted stores resign,
With joy I would renounce them all,
For leave to call you mine.
3. Should Earth's vain treasures all depart,
Of this dear gift possessed,
I'd clasp it to my joyful heart
And be forever blest.
Dear sov'reign of my soul's desires,
Your love is bliss divine;
Accept the wish that love inspires,
And bid me call you mine. Topics: Ordinary Time Week 12 Scripture: Matthew 13:44 Languages: English Tune Title: NEW PSALM 60
