Farewell, all earthly treasures

Farewell, all earthly treasures,I bid you all adieu;Farewell, all earthly honor,I want no more of you.I want my union groundedOn God's eternal Son,Beyond the power of Satan,Where sin can never come,

I want my name engravenAmong the righteous ones,Who see my Father's glory,And wear a starry crown.For these, the better riches,I'm willing to pass throughAll earthly tribulation,And count it my just due.

I'm willing to be cleansèd,And bear the daily cross;I 'm willing to be purgèdFrom every kind of dross.I see the fiery furnace,And feel its cleansing flame;The fruit of it is holy,The gold will still remain.

All earthly tribulationIs but a moment here;And O, if we are faithful,A crown of life we 'll wear!We shall be pure and holy,And feed on angels' food,Rejoicing in bright gloryAround the throne of God.
