Tell me no more of earthly toys,Of sinful mirth and carnal joys,The things I loved before;Let me but view my Savior's face,And feel his animating grace,And I desire no more.
2
Tell me no more of fame and wealth,Of careless ease and blooming health,For they have all their snares;Let me but know my sins forgiven,And see my name enrolled in heaven,And I am free from cares.
3
Give me a Bible in my hand,A heart to read and understandThat sure, unerring word—I 'd urge no company to stay,But sit alone from day to day,And converse with the Lord.
