Let others boast of wealth or power

1

Let others boast of wealth or power,And glory in their pride;Thy word, O God, we value moreThan all the world beside.

2

Here mines of knowledge, love, and joyAre open to our sight,The purest gold without alloy,And gems divinely bright.

3

The counsels of redeeming graceThese sacred leaves unfold,And here the Saviour's lovely faceOur raptured eyes behold.

4

Here light, descending from above,Directs our doubtful feet;Here promises of heavenly loveOur ardent wishes meet.
