The Stennetts of England - Samuel Stennett D.D. - Hymn Poems

Let avarice, from shore to shore

Let avarice, from shore to shore.
Her favourite god pursue;
Thy word, O Lord, we value more
Than India or Peru.

Here mines of knowledge, love, and joy,
Are opened to our sight;
The purest gold without alloy,
And gems divinely bright.

The councils of redeeming grace
These sacred leaves unfold;
And here the Savours lovely face
Our raptured eyes behold.

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

Our numerous griefs are here redressed,
And all our wants supplied:
Nought we can ask to make us blessed,
Is in this book denied.

For these inestimable gains,
That so enrich the mind,
O may we search with eager pains,
Assured that we shall find
