HOW vast the treasure we possess! How rich Thy bounty, King of grace! This world is ours, and worlds to come: Earth is our lodge, and Heaven our home. |
|||
2 | All things are oursthe gifts of God, The purchase of a Saviour’s blood; While the good Spirit shows us how To use, and to improve them too. |
||
3 | If peace and plenty crown my days, They help me, Lord, to speak Thy praise; If bread of sorrows be my food, Those sorrows work my lasting good. |
||
4 | I would not change my blest estate For all the world calls good or great; And while my faith can keep her hold, I envy not the sinner’s gold. |
||
5 | Father, I wait Thy daily will: Thou shalt divide my portion still, Grant me on earth what seems Thee best, Till death and Heaven reveal the rest. |

Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 |
