| 1. 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 ours:-the gifts of God,
The purchase of a Saviour’s blood;
Wile 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.
