Hymnal: A New Selection of Hymns; designed for the use of conference meetings, private circles, and congregations, as a supplement to Dr. Watts' Psalms and Hymns #32 (1812) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Let avarice from shore to shore
Her fav'rite god pursue;
Thy word O LORD, we value more
Than India or Peru.
2 Here mines of knowledge, love, and joy
Are open'd to our sight:
The purest gold without alloy,
And gems divinely bright.
3 The counsels of redeeming grace
The sacred leaves unfold:
And her the Savior's lovely face
Our raptur'd eyes behold.
4 Here light descending from above
Directs our doubtful fee:
Here promises of heavenly love
Our ardent wishes meet. Languages: English
